Revision of a cementless well fixed short stem , integrated with femoral perforation

Intraoperative femoral cortex perforation is a rare complication, reported in 0.07% of primary hip arthroplasties. When undetected, the stem fits inside the adapted femoral canal and around the cortical borders of the hole, and the distal tip protrudes outside the bone. We describe the first case reporting the revision of a TaperLoc Microplasty femoral component in such malposition, requiring a revision surgery. Case Report
