Description: Removal of the femoral stem can be challenging for the orthopaedic surgeon. The decision between performing an extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) or trying to remove the femoral stem without an osteotomy and taking the risk of an intraoperative fracture is often hard to make.
Purpose of the study was thus to describe our experiences, comparing intraoperative femoral fractures during stem removal with ETOs in femoral revision arthroplasties.
