Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the patient underwent an initial total hip replacement on the right side.Approximately 48 months post-operatively, the patient was putting on his pajamas when his right leg got caught in them, causing him to lose his balance and fall on his right hip.This resulted in a right periprosthetic femur fracture, which was treated with open reduction internal fixation and medication.No further impact to the patient was reported.No other information is available.
