At about 4 years and 10 months after primary, the patient came in reporting pain after tripping and feeling a pop several months before the revision date.During the revision at the distal part of the stem the bone was very hard and this was probably due to a femoral bone fracture that has healed, but not noticed before.The stem was explanted using medacta stem removal system and was easy to remove it.Implanting the new stem, flexible reamers were needed to perform distal femur reaming because of the hard bone likely due to the healed bone fracture.The surgeon revised the medacta stem and head with competitor products and revised the medacta liner with a medacta liner.The surgery was completed successfully.
