Uncoupling of the Femoral Head in a Case of Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty Dislocation

Bipolar hemiarthroplasty of the hip is a routinely done procedure in the elderly with neck of femur fractures. An uncommon yet widely recognized complication is the dislocation of hemiarthroplasty. Uncoupling of the femoral head from the stem implant can complicate such dislocations. Such uncoupling...

description Bipolar hemiarthroplasty of the hip is a routinely done procedure in the elderly with neck of femur fractures. An uncommon yet widely recognized complication is the dislocation of hemiarthroplasty. Uncoupling of the femoral head from the stem implant can complicate such dislocations. Such uncoupling requires open reduction. Here, we present a case where the patient sustained a hip dislocation and uncoupling following a bipolar hemiarthroplasty.
