Abstract
Prosthetic component failure occurs in total hip arthroplasty infrequently. Fractures of hemi-arthroplasty components are extremely uncommon. A recent case report highlighted two cases of stem failures in hydroxyapatite- (HA) coated implants. Uncemented Austin Moore hemi-arthroplasties typically fail by loosening or periprosthetic fracture. We report a case and the management of a fractured implant.Entities:
