Fracture of the stem-neck junction in non-modular total hip arthroplasty: A case report

Fracture of non-modular femoral stem-neck junction failure after total hip arthroplasty is rare. We present a case of 52-year-old man with a fractured metal femoral stem-neck junction in a non-modular total hip replacement. The patient attended to emergency room with a fracture of the prosthetic neck of the femoral metal implant. The patient undergone a revision hip arthroplasty by splitting the femur for broken stem and implanting a new femoral stem with femoral wiring. Ceramic insert placed over the top of the acetabular ring was assembled with cement, and optimal neck length ceramic head was chosen.
