Abstract

The incidence of fractures of the femoral components of a hip implants ranges from 0.1 to 3.4 % and is an extremely rare orthopedic complication. In our clinic, a fracture of the Exeter V40 cement stem was diagnosed for the first time 3 years after implantation. OBJECTIVE – to demonstrate a fracture of the cement femoral component, as well as a scientific analysis of the causes of this complication. The main reasons for the development of this complication were: excess weight (BMI – 39 kg/cm2), increased offset (head 36 mm in diameter, size +10) of the femoral component with a relatively small size (Exeter V40 37.5 N2) and early fretting corrosion.
