Popis:	Introduction: The Exeter stem by Stryker is a polished, double wedge, tapered,and stainless steel cemented implant that is known to have high mechanical strength, and therefore can carry a significant load. Case Report: Due to the rare nature of fractures of this type of implant, its success and effectiveness within hip arthroplasty, the Exeter stem has become one of the most commonly used surgical treatment regimens for hip fractures. At present, there are only a handful of published papers detailing a fracture through an Exeter stem implant. Conclusion: The current case report documents a rare case of a fractured Exeter V40 stem and its subsequent treatment.
