A 41-year-old female who sustained a Vancouver type B1 fracture 5 months after primary total hip arthroplasty due to Crowe type IV hip dysplasia. a and b Preoperative anteroposterior X-ray and three-dimensional reconstruction of the femur showed an oblique fracture of the distal right femoral stem. c Locked compression plate and encircling steel wire were used for fixation during operation. d The anteroposterior radiographs on the third day after the operation showed satisfactory fracture reduction, good alignment and normal pseudographs. e Anteroposterior radiographs 6 months after the operation showed distal union of the fracture, but malunion at the proximal osteotomy with a 15-degree varus deformity
