Survival of the Judet hip prosthesis

Forty-year survival of a Judet hip prosthesis: a case report.

In 1946, the Judet brothers performed their first ‘resectionreconstruction’ of the femoral head (Judet 1947) using a prosthesis made entirely of polymethylmethacrylate (PMM.A). The early implants broke frequently and were later reinforced by a steel rod (Judet and Judet 1950). Failures continued, however, and use of the prosthesis was abandoned decades ago. Case report. In 1952, a 12-year-old g...

The problem of the broken Judet prosthesis.

Histology of the bone-implant interface 45 years after bilateral implantation of a Judet acrylic hip prosthesis: a case report.

The Judet acrylic femoral head hemiprosthesis was first implanted in 1946. We performed bilateral revision in one patient 45 years after implantation of a Judet prosthesis. Histological analysis of femoral neck remnants and joint capsule did not show aggressive osteoclastic bone resorption or signs of dynamic bone apposition as is frequently observed nowadays with failed total hip prostheses. O...

Poor survival of ABG I hip prosthesis in younger patients.

BACKGROUND Hydroxyapatite coated (HAC) hip implants have been used in clinical practice for more than two decades. However, the majority of studies have reported only intermediate term outcomes that are not reliable for predicting long-term behavior in all implants. The aim of this study was to determine the performance of HAC total hip arthroplasty in younger patients over a 10-year follow-up ...

Comminuted fractures of the radial head treated by the Judet floating radial head prosthesis.

Excision is not a suitable treatment for all comminuted fractures of the radial head. In elbows where instability can be predicted, a replacement arthroplasty of the radial head is more effective. The aim of this paper was to present the medium-term results of the Judet floating radial head prosthesis. This operation was performed on 14 patients between 1992 and 2003, of whom 12 were reviewed a...
