A 30 years old female patient presented us with pain, restricted movement of hip and difficulty of walking. She had past history of taking oral Steroid for 6 months for gaining weight. Radiological examination revealed bilateral avascular necrosis of hips with advanced osteoarthritic changes. The patient had sequential Total hip replacement on both sides in 6 weeks interval. Post operatively she was uneventful and after proper exercise and physiotherapy she is maintaining her daily household activities smoothly.

Abstract Introduction Ceramic on ceramic bearing in Total Hip Replacement (THR) is associated with a low but evident risk of ceramic linear fracture, which can lead to catastrophic failure if not diagnosed and treated early. Case presentation: A 59-year-old male patient, who underwent a ceramic-on-ceramic THR 8 years ago, presented to our centre with a five-week history of right hip pain, after he suddenly twisted his upper body and felt a sharp pain in his groin. Prior to the injury he had an excellent functional level with the prosthesis. His examination findings confirmed a reduced range of movement with pain in the groin on internal and external rotation. X-ray and CT of the hip confirmed a ceramic liner fracture with protrusion of the femoral head into the pelvis. A revision THR was subsequently performed. Discussion The usual pattern of liner fracture in this type of bearings is that the femoral head stays contained inside the metal cup. In our case, the ceramic femoral head uniquely fractured the liner and passed into the pelvis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third reported case in literature where a ceramic femoral head protrudes through the metal cup into the pelvis.

Total hip replacement is a reconstructive procedure that has improved the management of those diseases of the hip joint that have responded poorly to conventional medical therapy. Conventional, primary total hip replacement is a durable operation in the majority of patients. A hip replacement is a mechanical device with parts that are assembled before and during the operation. But the possible complications of total hip arthroplasty, and its clinical performance over time, is a challenging occasion to the surgeons, and such a challenge we faced with our presenting patient. A 68 year old lady with history of cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty done in a tertiary care hospital, due to fracture neck of the left femur having the history of diabetes, chronic kidney disease, heart disease, anaemia, and mental disorders presented with loosened prosthesis, thinning of medial proximal cortex of the femur which had broken within few months after surgery. She complained of painful walking at left hip joint. There was also evidence of chronic infective and degenerative arthritis of acetabular component of the affected hip joint. Cemented revision total hip replacement surgery was performed with expert multidisciplinary involvement. On 2nd postoperative day the patient was allowed to walk on operated limb with the aid of walker. On 12th postoperative day all the stitches were removed and wound was found healthy.
