We report a result in treatment for 9 cases of fracture of ipsilateral fumer following total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Mean age at primary THA operation was 56 years old and mean time from the THA to the fracture was 8 years and 8 months. According to the Johanssons classification, they were divided into one case of type I, III and 7 cases of type II. The injuries were frequently due to slight trauma in the cases with stem loosening combined with the fragility of the thin femoral cortex. Open reduction and/or rereplacement was required in most of the cases, but bone fusion was obtained.
