Rearthroplasty of the Hip Joint

Abstract
Patients (40) were reviewed 24-52 mo. after their 2nd, 3rd and 4th arthroplasty of the same hip. The protocol assessed pain, range of motion, led shortening, gait performance, radiological appearance of the endoprosthesis and included the patient''s own evaluation. Results of rearthroplasty were inferior to those of the primary procedure, but still good enough, both in the surgeon''s and the patient''s opinion, to be the method of choice for revision of a failed total hip replacement.
