Key result
Total hip arthroplasty without bone graft succeeds in a 56-year-old male requiring individualized care.
Why the study?
The durability of total hip prostheses and changes in surgical approaches for femoral neck fractures is a crucial issue, with prosthesis longevity ranging widely from 10 to 30 years.
Population
One 56-year-old male patient with prior electrocution, transcervical left hip fracture, and right forearm amputation
Comparison
Revision total hip prosthesis with a primary prosthesis without bone graft

May inform individualized planning for complex hip arthroplasty; leaves open generalizability pending prospective data.
Case Report (n=1)
Careful preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative planning can lead to satisfactory and durable results in total hip replacements even in rare situations.
Telmo Raúl Aveiro-Róbalo (2023) conducted a case report in Transcervical fracture of the left hip (n=1). Total left hip arthroplasty with polyethylene metal head 28 (primary prosthesis without bone graft) was evaluated. Total left hip arthroplasty using a primary prosthesis without bone graft was successfully performed in a 56-year-old male patient, highlighting the need for individualized care.
