Revision of Sivash Endoprosthesis 41 Years after Primary Operation

Abstract

Clinical observation of a female patient who at the age of 16 underwent total hip replacement by Sivash implant due to congenital left hip dislocation is presented. The reason for revision intervention that was performed in 41 years after primary arthroplasty was the fracture of the implant stem. The stem was removed via 2 transfemoral approaches. Modular revision stem for distal fixarion was implanted. Treatment result is considered to be satisfactory: no pain is present and weight bearing ability is restored.
