Résumé
Hip arthroplasty using acrylic prosthesis was once conducted; however, it has now been abandoned because of early breakages and wear of material. Therefore, complications or revision surgeries due to the use of acrylic prostheses are becoming rare. A 76-year-old woman presented with a sudden onset of severe pain in her left femur while walking. Radiographs revealed severe osteolysis and periprosthetic femoral fracture 45 years after the initial hemiarthroplasty using an acrylic prosthesis. We performed a Girdlestone resection arthroplasty by removing the prosthesis and fixing the fracture site using an intramedullary nail and metal plate. The patient was pain-free in her hip and leg 2 years and 9 months after the surgery. Although she walked with a cane or crutches, no postoperative complications were observed. The combined use of an intramedullary nail and plate fixation with resection arthroplasty could offer acceptable results for patients with severe osteolysis and periprosthetic fracture after femoral head replacement using an acrylic prosthesis. Our report seems relevant because it not only reminds us of the significant steps made in the development of modern total hip arthroplasty; it also highlights one of the surgical options for severe osteolysis and periprosthetic fracture of the hip.

CASE PRESENTATION
METHODS
A 76-year-old woman presented with a sudden onset of severe pain in her left femur while walking. Radiographs revealed severe osteolysis and periprosthetic femoral fracture 45 years after the initial hemiarthroplasty using an acrylic prosthesis. We performed a Girdlestone resection arthroplasty by removing the prosthesis and fixing the fracture site using an intramedullary nail and metal plate. The patient was pain-free in her hip and leg 2 years and 9 months after the surgery. Although she walked with a cane or crutches, no postoperative complications were observed.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
The combined use of an intramedullary nail and plate fixation with resection arthroplasty could offer acceptable results for patients with severe osteolysis and periprosthetic fracture after femoral head replacement using an acrylic prosthesis. Our report seems relevant because it not only reminds us of the significant steps made in the development of modern total hip arthroplasty; it also highlights one of the surgical options for severe osteolysis and periprosthetic fracture of the hip.
