Failure Mode Analysis of an Exeter Stem Fracture Initiated at the Introducer Hole: Time for a Design Change?

open access: yesArthroplasty Today, 2021
The fracturing of a hip prosthesis stem at its neck, in the absence of a trauma, is an extremely rare but serious adverse event. The patient in our case was young, active, and tall, thereby putting high mechanical loads on the prosthesis.
