Revision of the uncemented hip prosthesis.
In a series of 213 consecutive total hip replacements a.m. Lubinus, the clinical course after 72 revisions and 141 primary procedures was compared after 5 years. The revised THRs were uncemented Ring prostheses. Dislocation and peroperative fracture were more common in the revision group. Two failures because of aseptic loosening occurred in the revision group and 3 in the control group. No excisional arthroplasty was required, and no infections occurred. Radiographic evaluation of prosthetic positioning, component loosening, calcar resorption, and paraarticular ossification disclosed only slightly inferior results in the revision group. Clinically, the revised cases were not inferior to the primary ones. Revision of the uncemented hip seems less difficult than of the cemented hip.
