Total hip arthroplasty monobloc stem neck rupture in patient with massive heterotopic ossifications: a case report and literature review

We suggest that this case represents a unique type of fatigue rupture, where neck length and the presence of massive heterotopic calcifications contributed to flexion forces, resulting in failure in the midpoint of the neck.PMID:38193574 | DOI:10.23750/abm.v94iS2.13888
