Abstract: Implant fractures of modular uncemented femoral revision stems are rare complications nowadays. In the past some implant-designs showed high fracture rates [1-3]. The incidence of modern implants is reported between 0.11 % up to 4.5 % [4-7]. The fracture of modular femoral revision-components is related to patient-specific and implant-specific problems and to surgical mistakes [8], Patient obesity, the use of lateralized and short proximal segments are definitive risk-factors for component failure as well as surgical errors such as the use of extralong heads.
