Open Reduction of a Chronic Proximal Dislocation After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Suh, Kuen Tak; Moon, Kyu Pill; Kim, In Bo; Lee, Jung SubHip
We report an unusual case of a chronic prosthetic dislocation that was caused by the buttonholing of a prosthetic femoral head by anterior soft tissue, which impeded reduction. A surprisingly good functional result was achieved by an open reduction and revision operation on a 56-year-old man, who had a chronic dislocation of a total hip prosthesis. Successful treatment with open reduction of a chronic proximal dislocation after total hip arthroplasty has not been reported previously in the literature.
