CASE: A 39-year-old man with cerebral palsy and hip dysplasia status post right Chiari osteotomy presented with right hip osteoarthritis in consultation for total hip arthroplasty (THA). During THA, a Delta ceramic head was misaligned on the taper, but this was obscured by an overlying dual modular polyethylene shell. When we attempted to tap the head onto the taper, fracture occurred requiring revision to a cobalt-chromium head due to slight taper damage. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of intraoperative fracture of a BIOLOX Delta dual modular head.
