We identified 1305 femoral impaction bone grafting revisions using the Exeter stem performed between 1989 and 2002 in 30 hospitals throughout Sweden. There were 1188 patients with a mean age of 71 years (29 to 94) followed up for between five and 18 years. The participating departments reported 70 further revisions in total, of which 57 could also be identified on the Swedish National Arthropla...

The Norwegian Arthroplasty Register recorded 24,408 primary total hip replacements from 1987 to 1993; 2907 of them (13%) were performed with uncemented femoral components. We have compared the results of eight different designs, each used in more than 100 patients. Survivorship of the components was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method using revision for aseptic loosening of the femoral compone...

INCIDENCE OF REASONS FOR REVISION HIP SURGERY: PRELIMINARY STUDY (Abstract). Aim: To analyze the main causes and short/mid-term clinical outcomes of revision total hip arthroplasty. Material and Methods: All patients treated over a period of 36 consecutive months at the Orthopedic Clinic of the Iasi Rehabilitation Hospital were an alyzed. The causes for total hip arthroplasty (THA) failure were...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate causes and clinical outcomes of revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Materials and Methods We performed a retrospective review on the records of 225 revision TKAs performed from 2003 to 2012 at a single institution. Finally, 206 cases were conducted. To evaluate clinical outcomes, we checked the range of moti...

UNLABELLED Total hip arthroplasty in hypoplastic femurs is technically difficult and the incidence of complications and aseptic loosening is relatively high. Cemented, uncemented, off-the-shelf, and custom-made stems all have been advocated in these cases. From 1978 to 1997, we performed 86 total hip arthroplasties in 77 patients with a hypoplastic femur using a cemented, off-the-shelf, small, ...

BACKGROUND Two-stage revision arthroplasty is today regarded as the gold standard treatment method for deep prosthetic joint infection. The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical and functional outcomes with the Modular Universal Tumor And Revision System (MUTARS) RS stem in patients undergoing two-stage revisions. METHODS The functional and clinical outcomes for 43 patients who ha...

We followed the first 354 consecutive implantations of a cementless, double-tapered straight femoral stem in 326 patients. Follow-up was at a mean of 12 years (10 to 15). The mean age of the patients was 57 years (13 to 81). At follow-up, 56 patients (59 hips) had died, and eight (eight hips) had been lost to follow-up. Twenty-five hips underwent femoral revision, eight for infection, three for...
