Abstract

Excisional Arthroplasty of hip is an old modality of treatment meant to gain mobility of hip at the cost of stability, limping and shortening of limb for post infective fibrous ankylosis of hip or arthrodesis of hip. At present with frequent use of total hip replacement, the use of excisional arthroplasty in hip is limited. A case of periprosthetic fracture in femur occurring 14 years after the surgery and managed with the excisional arthroplasty is reported due to difficulties in prosthesis removal. The case report highlights the utility of Excisional arthroplasty in complex periprosthetic fractures which cannot not be managed by total hip arthroplasty, thus indicating its relevance even today.
