Zusammenfassung

Objective: We present the case of a 36 year-old patient with an intracapsular fracture of the proximal femur who underwent a total replacement arthroplasty with an excellent functional outcome. The loosening rate of the implant is low despite youth of these patients, as they have a low level of activity and require the aid of crutches. It should be considered that spasticity, involuntary movements and the performance of tenotomies decrease the stability of the implant.
