Midterm results following uncemented, modular, fully porous coated stem used in revision total hip arthroplasty: Comparison of two stem systems

Fracture of Extensively Porous-Coated Cylindrical Femoral Stem Following Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty

Midterm results with Birmingham Hip Resurfacing/Synergy stem modular metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty.

Large head modular metal-on-metal total hip replacement (MoMTHR) has been shown to have increased revision rates in the National joint registry and in literature. We reviewed 41 consecutive patients with 44 hips who had large head MoM THR using a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) cup/Synergy stem combination between June 2005 and Nov 2009 with a mean followup of 59.5 months. In this series we ha...

Intraoperative Fracture of the Femur in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty with a Fully HA-Coated Stem

A retrospective review was made of intraoperative femoral fracture prevalence in seventy nine consecutive, cementless, fully HA-coated stems used for revision hip arthroplasty. Three patients were lost to follow up. Intraoperative fracture occurred in 15 (20%) femurs. Fractures occurred during cement removal (3/15) or insertion of the implant (12/15). All fractures were identified using intraop...

Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty Using an Extensively Porous Coated Femoral Stem

BACKGROUND To determine the benefit of an extensively porous coated femoral stem in patients receiving revision total hip arthroplasty. METHODS This study reviewed the results of 35 patients who received a revision total hip arthroplasty with extensively porous coated femoral stem between August, 1996, and December, 2002. The mean follow-up period was 77.5 months. The clinical and radiologica...

Results of uncemented porous-coated anatomic total hip replacement.

We reviewed a consecutive series of 241 uncemented, porous-coated anatomic (PCA) hip replacements at an average follow-up of five years (2 to 9). Of these, 32 had failed (13%), 26 at the acetabular component (11%) and six at the femoral component (2%). Acetabular failure was associated with local osteolysis and excessive polyethylene wear in 20 cases: in these histological examination showed gi...
