From: Removal of an osteointegrated broken uncemented femoral stem after hip arthroplasty—technical note
Drawing of the fully exposed transfemoral approach to the right hip. The fragment of the extended trochanteric osteotomy is reclined anteriorly, behind the Hohmann retractors. The proximal component of the broken, distally well-integrated, uncemented stem already has been removed. A tapered, fluted, uncemented stem is exemplified. The angulated pointed stem extractor is in place in the recess made in the stem with a carbide drill bit. The distal part of the stem might have to be loosened by longitudinal drilling along the stem, before it can be struck out
