The increasing frequency of joint arthroplasty has led to an increasing requirement for revision surgery. When treating an aseptically failed elbow arthroplasty one of the main issues is poor or absent proximal ulna bone stock, due to osteolysis. We report our experience with the use of strut allograft reconstruction of the proximal ulna, as an adjunctive procedure to non-custom revision total ...

Consensus regarding femoral stem fixation options in revision total knee arthroplasty remains controversial. Tapered, modular, fluted titanium (TMFT) stems have an excellent track record in total hip arthroplasty for their ability to provide axial and rotational stability in situations of compromised host bone. We present 3 successfully treated cases in which the Food & Drug Administration gran...

The results of patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had revision hip arthroplasty have been studied infrequently. The purpose of this study was to review the authors' clinical and radiographic experiences and outcomes with revision hip arthroplasty. Revision total hip arthroplasties were done on 28 patients (30 hips). All hips had morselized bone grafting and four hips had bulk allografts for...

INTRODUCTION Pseudotumor is not an uncommon complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). This can occur in relationship to different bearing surfaces of head and liner ranging from soft to hard articulation. There is wide spectrum of presentation from asymptomatic to implant failure. CASE REPORT We report a case of pseudotumor formation with acetabular cup aseptic loosening after revision...

vol. 6, No. 7, July 2017 405 Article focus „ Few studies have assessed the outcomes following non-metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty (non-MoMHA) revision surgery performed for adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD), despite this clinical problem being increasingly reported worldwide. outcomes following revision surgery performed for adverse reactions to metal debris in non-metal-on-metal hip art...

Two stage total hip arthroplasty revision surgery includes foreign material debridment, insertion of antibiotic impregnatedcement spacer, and finally, reimplantation of the prosthesis. This review has aimed to evaluate the efficacy of antibioticimpregnated cement spacers in infection control and eradication in arthroplasties.A total of 85 articles on total hip arthroplasty wer...

BACKGROUND The increasing number of revision knee arthroplasty result in the more frequently use of a constraint implant but results from previous reports are difficult to interpret. The purpose of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes of superficial cemented versus metaphyseal cemented in revision total knee arthroplasty with a condylar constrained arthroplasty. METHODS The study ...

We hypothesized that some aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty failures are indeed caused by occult infection. This prospective study recruited 65 patients undergoing revision total knee arthroplasty. The mean follow-up period was 19 months. Collected synovial fluid was analyzed by Ibis T5000 biosensor (Abbott Molecular Inc, Ill; a multiplex polymerase chain reaction technology). Cases were...

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the leading cause of hip replacement in young children. However, arthroplasty in this population is challenging with several concerns about quality of the growing bone, young age for revision surgery, and difficulties in potential several revisions. In this study we introduce a case of a 12-year old who is one of the youngest patients to undergo revision hip art...

Cobalt metallosis after revision metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty for catastrophic failure of ceramic components is uncommon but a potentially devastating complication. Common findings associated with heavy metal toxicity include cardiomyopathy, hypothyroidism, skin rashes, visual disturbances, hearing changes, polycythemia, weakness, fatigue, cognitive deterioration, and neuropathy...
