REVISION HIP ARTHROPLASTY USING CEMENTLESS FEMORAL COMPONENTS

Abstract

The authors have analyzed the treatment outcomes of revision hip arthroplasty due to aseptic loosening in 85 patients. There was evaluation of both cementless revision systems as well as rectangular femoral components used for the initial hip replacement surgery. Average follow-up period was of 43,96 ± 18,81 months. Functional results and survival of rectangular femoral components used for the initial hip replacement were comparable with the results observed when cementless revision systems were used.
