title: Adverse sequelae following revision of a total hip replacement for a fractured ceramic component: case report.
abstract: Revision total hip replacement following a fractured ceramic bearing component presents a challenge in the choice of the new bearing implant. A femoral head made of equal or harder material should be implanted to prevent catastrophic wear. Despite this, patients and surgeons must be wary of potential complications.
