Fig. 3From: Short uncemented femoral component for hip revision: prognosis and risk factors associated with failureA patient with aseptic loosening of the left hip prosthesis had undergone primary total hip arthroplasty one year prior. An uncemented acetabular component and cemented femoral component were implanted. a Before the first revision, an aseptic loosening of the prosthesis could be found. b Immediately after the first revision, a periprosthetic femoral fracture could be identified. The fracture was fixed with two cables. c Five weeks after the first revision, the stem was loosened. Dislocation between the prosthetic head and femoral stem could also be identified. d After the second revision, a lengthened cemented stem was implantedBack to article page
