Long-term results of cemented Charnley revision arthroplasty for fractured stem.
A prospective study of 125 cemented revisions for fractured stem, with a minimum follow-up time of one year nine months and a mean follow-up time of eight years, was performed. All arthroplasties were revised using Charnley components. At the most recent follow-up evaluation, 67.2% of patients were pain free and 22.4% had only mild or occasional discomfort. Radiographically, 107 stems (85.6%) were well fixed, six (4.8%) were definitely loose, and 12 (9.6%) were possibly loose. Thirteen hips (10.4%) required a further revision. Survivorship of the stem at the end of 11 years was 90.4%. Long-term results of cemented revision for fractured stem are very satisfactory.
