With the incidence of primary total hip arthroplasty continuing to rise in the United States, the innovation behind improving current total hip arthroplasty systems inevitably grows with it-each new design potentially ushering in new flaws. We report a case of screw failure with the Arcos Modular Femoral Revision System-Trochanteric Bolt and Claw Technique in a 74-year-old male patient. The patient presented to the investigator's clinic for their 20-month follow-up evaluation of their complex right hip revision.

Article Synopsis
- The incidence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is rising, leading to concerns about complications like heterotopic ossification, which is bone growth in abnormal areas.
- A unique case is presented where a patient developed extensive heterotopic ossification 13 years after revision TKA, causing functional ankylosis, but chose nonsurgical treatment.
- This case highlights the need for awareness and preventive strategies against heterotopic ossification in knee surgeries, including medication, radiation, physical therapy, and various treatment options for severe cases.
