Abstract

Go to

Total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis of the right hip was performed in a 62-year-old female patient with rightside weakness due to cerebral infarction. Because the second cerebral infarction aggravated right-side weakness, recurrent anterior subluxation occurred two years after surgery. We report on a case of recurrent anterior subluxation of total hip arthroplasty, which was treated successfully by exchange and reorientation of an elevated-rim polyethylene, and discuss studies reporting on recurrent subluxation after total hip arthroplasty and its treatment.

Keywords Total hip arthroplasty, Recurrent subluxation, Polyethylene reorientation
