Femoral stem fracture is reported as an uncommon late complication of cemented total hip replacement in two dogs. In each case surgical salvage was achieved by extirpation of the proximal unstable component of the femoral stem, resulting in acceptable limb function. To the authors' knowledge, intramedullary femoral stem failure has not been previously reported after cemented total hip replacement in the dog. Factors believed to have contributed to implant failure in these dogs are discussed and compared with the same complication in humans.
据报道，在两只犬中，股骨柄骨折是骨水泥型全髋关节置换术后一种罕见的晚期并发症。在每例病例中，通过切除股骨柄近端不稳定部分实现了手术挽救，肢体功能恢复可接受。据作者所知，此前尚未有犬在骨水泥型全髋关节置换术后发生股骨髓内柄失败的报道。本文讨论了被认为导致这些犬植入物失败的因素，并与人类的相同并发症进行了比较。
