Abstract:
Femoral stems with the capacity for exuberant bony in-growth, such as hydroxyapatite- or porous-coated stems, pose a challenge in the revision setting if extraction is required. The goal of minimal bone loss is crucial. We present an adjunct technique for the removal of well-fixed femoral stems with the use of Steinman pins.
