Polished Tapered Femoral Stem Displacement during the Closed Reduction of a Redislocated CementedBipolar Hemiarthroplasty of the Hip: A Case Report / 대한정형외과학회잡지

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.

Congenital Pseudoarthrosis of the Clavicle Related with Neurofibromatosis: A Case Report

Reports of bowing and pseudarthrosis of the humerus and clavicle are rare. Most patients with congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle involving the right side and midportion of clavicle tended to heal better than congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia. We experienced a patient who had special features in terms of location, pseudoarthrosis pattern, and neurofibromatosis, and report on this case here.
