It was reported the patient had a left total hip arthroplasty.Six weeks post-op, she anteriorly dislocated the hip while clipping her toenails and experienced ongoing pain.The physician noted that with the deformity in the patient¿s back, she would be more likely to dislocate again.The patient anteriorly dislocated 3-4 more times before being revised approximately eight (8) months after initial surgery.During the revision, upon opening of the capsule, the hip was found dislocated, the joint had the appearance of chronic anterior hip dislocation, and the posterior capsular tissues were somewhat torn.The taper, head, and liner were exchanged without complication.Attempts have been made and no further information has been provided.
