Abstract
We report a patient who underwent revision hip arthroplasty with preoperative radiation after a septic loosening of the primary hip prosthesis. Subsequently the patient presented with a dislocation of the hip. During the closed reduction with general anesthesia, a rupture of the arteria profunda femoris occurred. The patient was treated by angiographic obliteration of the arteria profunda femoris followed by an open reduction and augmentation of the acetabular component.
