811 Charnley hips followed for 3–17 years

Femoral revision surgery with impaction bone grafting: 31 hips followed prospectively for ten to 15 years.

The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of revision of the femoral component of a total hip replacement using impaction bone grafting. Femoral revision with an impacted allograft was performed on 29 patients (31 hips). In all, 21 hips (68%) had grade III or IV femoral defects according to the Endo-Klinik classification. A total of 1...

Revision for aseptic stem loosening using the cemented Charnley prosthesis. A review of 351 hips.

We reviewed 351 cemented revisions of femoral stems performed for aseptic loosening. At a mean of six years after the revision operation 72.1% of the patients were pain-free and 21.4% had only mild or occasional discomfort. The latest radiographs showed definite stem loosening in 10 (2.8%) and 20 hips (5.7%) had required rerevision, only nine (2.6%) of which were for mechanical failure of the s...

Good results with cemented total hip arthroplasty in patients between 40 and 50 years of age 168 hips followed for 2–19 years

Charnley low-friction arthroplasty: survival patterns to 38 years.

We studied survival to 38 years after Charnley low-friction arthroplasty of the hip. We used revision as an end-point, while adopting a policy of regular follow-up and early revision for radiological changes alone if indicated. Between November 1962 and June 2005, 22,066 primary low-friction arthroplasties (17,409 patients) had been performed at Wrightington Hospital by more than 330 surgeons. ...

Analyses of outcomes of one-stage operation for treatment of late-diagnosed developmental dislocation of the hip: 864 hips followed for 3.2 to 8.9 years

BACKGROUND The one-stage procedure for treatment of older developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) is used widely. However, the best age group for this operation is still unknown. The aims of our study were to evaluate middle-term outcomes of one-stage surgical treatment of a large number of patients with late-diagnosed DDH, and to explore the best age group for treatment. METHODS We retros...
