Abstract:
Redislocation of bipolar hemiarthroplasty is not a simple complication. When redislocation of bipolar hemiarthroplasty occurs, open reduction must be considered. Displacement of the polished tapered femoral stem could occur through the unwanted traction force during the reduction of the dislocated cemented hip arthroplasty as a complication. We experienced displacement of the polished tapered femoral stem during closed reduction of a redislocated cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty. We suggest that preoperative analysis for the cause and status of the dislocation is essential and open reduction should be considered if closed reduction is not thought to be suitable for a polished femoral stem.
