This study presents a case of repeated prosthetic fracture in a modular hip prosthesis in a 56-year-old male patient.After the initial implantation of a modular total hip prosthesis in 2006, the patient experienced two instances of prosthetic implant fracture over seventeen years. In this study, we analyz e the clinical case, explore potential underlying causes of this complication, and delve into current indications and strategies for the revision of fractured prosthesis stems. The discussion is informed by a literature review and underscores the significance of selecting appropriate revision techniques to address this challenge. Level of evidence: III
