[Replacement of a failed total hip prosthesis].

M Postel, J P Courpied

    Revue Du Rhumatisme Et Des Maladies Osteo-Articulaires
    |February 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Failed total hip replacements often involve detached prostheses. A specific technique using steel on polyethylene components, diameter 22, and acrylic cement offers a successful second chance for revision hip arthroplasty.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science

    Context:

    • Failed total hip prostheses are a significant clinical challenge, primarily due to aseptic loosening (detachment).
    • Revision hip arthroplasty is frequently required to address prosthesis failure.
    • Previous arthroplasty techniques or implant quality can compromise long-term outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To present a refined surgical protocol for revision total hip arthroplasty.
    • To outline principles for achieving satisfactory long-term results in revision hip surgery.
    • To offer a viable solution for patients with detached hip prostheses.

    Summary:

    • The study proposes three core principles for successful revision total hip arthroplasty: utilizing steel on polyethylene components (diameter 22) and fixation with acrylic cement.
    • This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with previously failed hip implants due to technical errors or poor implant quality.
    • The authors emphasize restoring near-normal anatomy during revision surgery, successfully employing homografts.

    Impact:

    • This strategy provides a reliable method for managing failed hip prostheses, improving patient outcomes.
    • The recommended technique offers a "second chance" for patients experiencing hip implant failure.
    • Successful anatomical restoration through homograft use enhances the longevity and function of revision hip arthroplasty.
