title: Displacement of a cemented femoral implant. A complication of manipulation of a dislocated total hip replacement.
abstract: Dislocation is a common complication of total hip replacement, which has been quoted in the literature as having an incidence of 1-4%. This is commonly treated with closed reduction. The authors present a case report of displacement of a cemented smooth-polished tapered femoral stem, which occurred while attempting closed reduction of a dislocated hybrid total hip replacement. The patient required full revision arthroplasty.
