    AbstractA patient previously treated by cannulated screws fixation of a femoral neck fracture and plate and screw fixation of an ipsilateral shaft fracture presented for a total hip arthroplasty due to femoral head avascular necrosis. The cortical bone at the previous fracture site was weak and damage on the proximal femur was considered likely during removal of the plate. We were also concerned that a periprosthetic fracture might occur during or after the insertion of a conventional femoral stem. We used a short-stemmed femoral component for total hip arthroplasty in this patient, to avoid the risk of potential complications.
