Osteointegration of an Uncemented Modular Revision Stem Implanted during revision Hip Surgery

Osteointegration of an uncemented modular revision stem implanted during revision hip surgery.

BACKGROUND Though mid-term survival rates of over 95% in several series have been published, there is still a paucity of related literature regarding the role of vertical stem instability in the osteointegration of fluted tapered stems. This paper presents a comprehensive and prospective assessment on short-term experiences with uncemented modular femoral stem in the treatment of defective femu...

Salvage of failed trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures using a distally fixed, modular, uncemented hip revision stem

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Treatment options for failed internal fixation of hip fractures include prosthetic replacement. We evaluated survival, complications, and radiographic outcome in 30 patients who were operated with a specific modular, uncemented hip reconstruction prosthesis as a salvage procedure after failed treatment of trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS ...

Uncemented Hip Arthroplasty in Primary and Revision Surgery

A modular cementless stem vs. cemented long-stem prostheses in revision surgery of the hip

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Modular cementless revision prostheses are being used with increasing frequency. In this paper, we review risk factors for the outcome of the Link MP stem and report implant survival compared to conventional cemented long-stem hip revision arthroplasties. PATIENTS AND METHODS We used data recorded in the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register. 812 consecutive revisions with ...

Cementless modular hip revision arthroplasty with the MRP titanium stem

As the number of primary THRs of younger patients with high physical demands increases, the amount of revision operations also grows. Bone loss with severe osteolysis, joint instability, function of pelvitrochanteric muscles, leg length discrepancy, a proper antetorsion angle, cement mantles, periprosthetic fractures, or infections are problems to be considered in revision arthroplasties of the...
