Trunnionosis and prosthesis dissociation after total hip arthroplasty

Radiol Case Rep. 2024 Jan 20;19(4):1506-1508. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2024.01.015. eCollection 2024 Apr.

Abstract

Femoral neck trunnion dissociations are rare complications of total hip replacements. This hardware failure is often due to underlying trunnionosis which is important to recognize. We present a case of a patient with dissociation at the femoral head-neck junction of a total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a Stryker Accolade TMZF femoral stem. There was no significant preceding trauma. The complication was visualized on radiography and confirmed during revision arthroplasty.
