Event Description

Revision hip replacement.Previously revised using a solution stem at smsa several years earlier.Solution stem had recently broken mid shaft.Review of the x-rays with the surgeon concluded that the solution stem had been undersized due to a large amount of cement not removed from the femoral shaft from the primary surgery.The end point of the large piece of cement may have not only caused the solution to be undersized, but also acted as a stress riser on the stem.The stem broke just above this cement.
