Abstract
Ninety-seven revisions of total hip replacements are reviewed with a median time of observation of 47 months. Satisfactory pain relief was obtained in 86%. There were six complete failures which were reduced to three by further surgery. One hip became infected and was excised. In 12 cases the revisions were complicated by peroperative fractures and in five by dislocations. Radiographic analysis disclosed a high percentage of periarticular ossification and 25 cases of radiographic loosening of the femoral implant.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
