Revision of femoral component loosening with titanium ingrowth prosthesis and bone grafting.
Preliminary results of 24 cementless revision hips are very encouraging and show no evidence of loosening at 12 to 45 months follow-up. With the problem inherent in femoral component loosening and the high incidence of failure from cemented revision total hip arthroplasty, the use of a porous ingrowth long stem prosthesis fitted to the canal with bone grafting proximally offers a logical solution to a very difficult problem.
