A very small intellectually and developmentally disabled patient who originally presented with a fractured femur that was operated on ((b)(6) 2021) receiving a thr.Due to the very small nature of this patient and challenging anatomy the patient presented with a dislocated thr a week later and was revised again on the (b)(6) 2021.The femoral canal was so limiting in size that the largest stem that could be placed without compromising the patients bone was an exeter 33 offset, and required a 22.2mm +8mm head which is off label and was made clear to the surgeon which he accepted taking the risk.Update 22 march 2021: the original exeter 30mm stem revised as the offset was not enough.The 33mm exeter stem was used when revised and the cup (a competitor) was re implanted.That the surgeon had to use a +8mm head which is off label use on the 33mm exeter stem but was the only head option to be stable enough.
