Abstract
- The purpose of this postmortem retrieval study of the femoral stem was to measure, analyse and compare the femoral stem taken from the patient who died after hip arthroplasty morphologically and radiologically. In this case we analysed the femoral stem from a patient who underwent bipolar endoprosthesis 4 months previously, which had never been reported previously in Korea. From radiologic and stereomicroscopic studies, we found that the cement around the femoral stem was inserted uniformly, and the cement thickness was shown the same uniform pattern. A cross sectional study showed small voids and defects that was not seen on the radiographs. Postmortem retrieval of hip arthroplasties can help in studies of operation methods, voids, cement, stemcement interfaces, and cement-bone interfaces.
