Disassociation of a Cold-Welded Bimodular Titanium Femoral Stem by Intraoperative Ice Cooling

Modularity in total hip arthroplasty allows a surgeon to have intraoperative versatility, allowing for fine adjustments of the femoral offset, leg length, and version. However, modularity can be a source of multiple complications. This case report describes a novel intraoperative solution for the pr...
