| Popis: | Dwarfism leads to an early onset of osteoarthritis of the joints of the lower limb. Due to bone deformities, arthroplasty is challenging. The incidence of implant-associated complications is higher compared to the normal population and often ends up with multiple revision arthroplasties. We report the first case in the literature of a 48-year-old patient with dwarfism who required implantation of a custom-made total femoral replacement due to aseptic stem loosening and a concomitant valgus gonarthrosis. |
