Key result
Among 50 replacement arthroplasties using the Charnley-Muller type prosthesis, fatigue fractures of the femoral stem occurred in 6 cases.
Case Report (n=50)
Reports 6 cases of fatigue fractures of the femoral stem in Charnley-Muller type total hip prostheses, highlighting a significant mechanical complication.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Fatigue fractures merit vigilance in long-term hip prosthesis surveillance; leaves open incidence, risk factors, and prevention.

Martens et al. (1974) conducted a case report in Osteoarthrosis / Total hip prosthesis (n=50). Charnley-Muller type total hip prosthesis vs. McKee-Farrar or Charnley stainless steel prostheses was evaluated on Fatigue fractures of the femoral stem. Among 50 replacement arthroplasties using the Charnley-Muller type prosthesis, fatigue fractures of the femoral stem occurred in 6 cases.
