QID 219789 (Type "219789" in App Search)
A 71-year-old female presents to the clinic with complaints of left thigh start-up pain. She originally had a left total hip arthroplasty performed by an outside surgeon 10 years ago. A current radiograph is shown in Figure A. She is diagnosed with aseptic loosening of the femoral component. After a negative infectious workup, she is indicated for a revision total hip arthroplasty. Intraoperatively, the surgeon plans to perform an extended trochanteric osteotomy to facilitate the removal of the current implant and the cement mantle. The surgeon is concerned with proximal migration of the osteotomy fragment. What surgical technique can help mitigate the risk of proximal trochanteric migration?
