title: Revision of femoral component loosening with titanium ingrowth prosthesis and bone grafting.
abstract: 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.
