Fracture of the stem of the femoral component after resurfacing arthroplasty of the hip

N K Bowman et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2006 Dec.

Abstract

Resurfacing arthroplasties of the hip are being undertaken with increasing frequency and the complications associated with this procedure are well documented. We have encountered a further problem with a fracture of the centralising peg of the femoral component in a prosthesis which had been in situ for three years.
