    FROM STAFF: PHYSICAL THERAPIST WAS EVALUATING THIS PATIENT SAME DAY OF SURGERY FOR RIGHT TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT. WHILE AMBULATING IN HALLWAY WITH FRONT WHEELED WALKER AND RETURNING TO BED, SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD "CLUNK" FROM THE OPERATIVE SIDE. PATIENT THEN STATING THE OPERATIVE LEG FELT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE WITH WEIGHT BEARING. WHEN RETURNING TO THE BED, PATIENT STATING IT FELT AS IF THE FOOT WAS GOING THROUGH THE FLOOR. FROM OP REPORT: PATIENT WHO UNDERWENT A PRIMARY RIGHT TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY. THIS WAS PERFORMED UNDER SPINAL ANESTHESIA WITHOUT COMPLICATION. THE PATIENT DID WELL IN THE RECOVERY ROOM AND TRANSFERRED TO THE FLOOR. PATIENT WAS WALKING WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY WITHOUT DIFFICULTY WHEN THERE WAS AN AUDIBLE CRACK AND THE RIGHT LEG SHORTENED. PATIENT WAS PLACED BACK IN BED. PATIENT DID NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT PAIN. THE X-RAY REVEALED A PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURE WITH DISPLACEMENT OF A MEDIAL CALCAR FRAGMENT AND SIGNIFICANT SUBSIDENCE OF THE STEM. THE HIP REMAINED LOCATED. I SUSPECT THAT THERE IS A SMALL CALCAR CRACK THAT WAS NOT VISIBLE AT THE TIME OF THE PRIMARY STEM PLACEMENT. BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SUBSIDENCE, I RECOMMENDED THAT WE PROCEED BACK TO THE OPERA
