The removal of well-fixed porous ingrown femoral components
1Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York.
Abstract:
It is now evident that some biologically well-fixed hip prostheses may require removal and/or revision much earlier than originally anticipated. The relatively atraumatic removal of porous ingrown but clinically unacceptable femoral components, while difficult, has become increasingly feasible because of accumulated clinical experience and advances in biomedical technology. Preoperative planning, adequate instrument armamentarium, and intraoperative patience are important keys to the successful removal of these implants.
