ABSTRACT
CASE A 62-year-old man who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) 17 years earlier presented with a fractured uncemented extensively coated diaphyseal engaging femoral stem. Treatment options, including revision surgery, were discussed, and the patient elected for nonoperative treatment. At 2 years of follow-up, the patient is asymptomatic, radiographs are stable, and he lives an active lifestyle without restrictions. CONCLUSION:
Fractures of well-fixed femoral prostheses are rare complications of THA and almost universally require revision surgery. Nonoperative treatment without activity restrictions may be a viable treatment option in select patients to preserve function and maintain quality of life.
