Reaming versus broaching in cemented hip arthroplasty

Cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty In Dogs

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an excellent salvage procedure for debilitating conditions that included osteoarthritis, hip luxation, femoral head and neck fracture and revision of femoral head ostectomy providing excellent hip joint function. Six dogs with clinical condition of hip dysplasia with luxation (three), severe osteoarthritis (two) and hip luxation (one) weighing 30 kg b.wt were sub...

Uncemented and cemented primary total hip arthroplasty in the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Since the introduction of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in Sweden, both components have most commonly been cemented. A decade ago the frequency of uncemented fixation started to increase, and this change in practice has continued. We therefore analyzed implant survival of cemented and uncemented THA, and whether the modes of failure differ between the two methods of fixati...

Revision in Cemented and Cementless Infected Hip Arthroplasty

Infection is a frequent cause of failure after joint replacement surgery. The infection rate after total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been reduced to 1-2% in the last years. However, it still represents a challenging problem for the orthopedic surgeon. Difficulty of therapeutic approach, and poor functional outcomes together with length of treatment and overall cost are the main burden of this is...

Pre-heating of components in cemented total hip arthroplasty.

Fatigue fractures which originate at stress-concentrating voids located at the implant-cement interface are a potential cause of septic loosening of cemented femoral components. Heating of the component to 44 degrees C is known to reduce the porosity of the cement-prosthesis interface. The temperature of the cement-bone interface was recorded intra-operatively as 32.3 degrees C. A simulated fem...
