Arthroplasty and Reconstruction
Editor’s Pick of the clinical case of the month on complex hip revision
In this month’s Editor’s Pick, myAO is featuring a case published by Dr. Ahmed Yaseen. This case involved a complex revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a patient presenting with chronic instability and multiple dislocations, compounded by a chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI)—two of the most frequent indications for revision hip replacement. Chronic instability is a leading cause of failure, often linked to suboptimal component positioning, soft tissue insufficiency, and poor restoration of hip biomechanics. Meanwhile, PJI remains one of the most challenging complications, requiring an evidence-based approach to ensure infection eradication and long-term implant survival.
Explore this case to see how Dr. Yaseen approached and resolved these complex issues. You’re invited to engage by applauding, commenting, or bookmarking the case to your CaseFolio for future reference.
