Catastrophic intraoperative failure of a ceramic femoral head
Approximately 17 years after a primary metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty, a 59-year-old female developed pain, swelling, and weakness in her right hip accompanied by laboratory findings and imaging suggestive of an adverse local tissue reaction. Acetabular revision was performed to upsize the fe...

Approximately 17 years after a primary metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty, a 59-year-old female developed pain, swelling, and weakness in her right hip accompanied by laboratory findings and imaging suggestive of an adverse local tissue reaction.

Upon impaction of the new, non-option ceramic femoral head onto the unsleeved retained stem, the head split into two pieces without fragmentation. The surgery was completed using a cobalt-chromium head, which was impacted without issue onto the stem’s taper. Although BIOLOX delta femoral heads do not require titanium sleeves, we believe that careful consideration should be given to their use in revision total hip arthroplasty with ceramic heads, regardless of the extent of trunnion damage noted intraoperatively. |
