Radiographic evaluation of cementation technique using polished, conical, triple-tapered femoral stem in hip arthroplasty

Radiographic evaluation of cementation technique using polished, conical, triple-tapered femoral stem in hip arthroplasty☆

OBJECTIVE To radiographically evaluate the quality of cementation and implantation technique using a polished, triple-tapered femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHOD Retrospective study with radiographic evaluation of 86 hips in 83 patients who underwent to primary THA with the triple-tapered cemented femoral stem C-Stem (DePuy Orthopedics, Warsaw, Indiana). Cases with at least o...

Radiographic grading of femoral stem cementation in hip arthroplasty

OBJECTIVE To determine intra and interobserver agreement of the grading system for femoral cementation in hip arthroplasty proposed by Barrack. METHODS Immediate anteroposterior and lateral postoperative radiographs of 55 primary total hip arthroplasties were assessed by two observers familiar with the use of this grading system. The assessments were performed on two separate occasions by eac...

Total Hip Arthroplasty Using a Polished Tapered Cemented Stem in Hereditary Multiple Exostosis

A 61-year-old Japanese man underwent right total hip arthroplasty for hereditary multiple exostosis. At first presentation, he had suffered from coxalgia for a long time. On radiographic images, there was a gigantic femoral head, increased shaft angle, and large diameter of the femoral neck. He had also developed coxarthrosis and severe pain of the hip joint. The transformation of the proximal ...

Porous Femoral Fixation in Total Hip Arthroplasty with Short Anatomical Stem: Radiographic Evaluation

BACKGROUND Hip prostheses with short anatomical stems were designed for metaphyseal fixation and to spare bone stock. We present a study of a short anatomical femoral stem used in all age groups of patients with Dorr A and B type of femora. METHODS We reviewed radiographs of 85 hips in 74 patients who had a cementless total hip arthroplasty with a short anatomical 80 mm femoral stem designed ...
