【 摘 要 】

Introduction

Modular femoral implants have become a regular feature of revision hip surgery. However, for a primary hip arthroplasty, such as a femoral neck fracture case, the implant of choice is a standard femoral component, while compelling literature evidence have made osteosynthesis the standard procedure for the vast majority of trochanteric fractures.

Case presentation

We present the case of a 66-year-old Caucasian woman presenting with two trochanteric fractures associated with primary and secondary hip osteoarthritis that were treated with an uncemented total hip replacement with a modular femoral component.

Conclusions

We found that a modular femoral component can address the issues of stability and, in our case, proved to be a viable solution for treating cases that are complicated by concomitant acetabular or femoral head and neck pathology.
