A patient had an arh slide-loc long stem, head and neck implanted.Patient was undergoing a second surgery for joint stiffness, heterotopic ossification and range of motion issues.The arh slide-loc implants appeared intact.The surgeon removed material from the joint and took down the soft tissue to restore motion.The arh slide-loc implants were unlocked and the head/neck was removed.This confirmed that the implant was stable and secured before removal.The stem was also removed.Due to the other issues, the implants were not replaced.
