title: [Reconstructive surgery using a massive prosthesis in loosening of a hip prosthesis].
abstract: Thirteen cases with loosening of THR treated by a massive prosthesis are reviewed. In previous years, with more conservative surgery, the loss of bone stock was most important. The results after a long follow-up were satisfactory. This was a desperate procedure during a period without a bone-bank. Despite the major problems with failure of this procedure, the author still recommends it in elderly patients who need early mobilization or when the use of a bank-bone is not possible.
