Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty with a Porous-coated Modular Stem: 5 to 10 Years Followup

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

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...

Total Hip Arthroplasty with Modular Stem for Dysplastic Hips in South Asian Population

Introduction: Optimum component positioning and orientation is required to optimize the functional result during total hip arthroplasty for dysplastic hips. Patients and methods: Sixty-two patients (66 hips) including 33 males and 29 females underwent total hip arthroplasty using modular stem prosthesis at an average age of 40.6 years (range 17 to 49 years). Nineteen hips were clas...

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 of failed total hip arthroplasty with a proximal femoral modular cemented stem.

We have designed a modular cemented femoral component for revision of failed total hip arthroplasty in which deficiency of the proximal femur is such as to require a variable extrafemoral portion of the stem. We present the results of the first 74 operations in 72 patients; 56 of the patients had grade-3 or grade-4 femoral deficiency as defined by Gustilo and Pasternak and 24 had fractures of t...
