Cemented revision for femoral osteolysis in cemented arthroplasties. Results in 29 hips after a mean 8.5-year follow-up.
We reviewed 29 consecutive patients after cemented femoral revision of cemented hip arthroplasties for osteolysis. After an average follow-up of 8.5 years, osteolysis had recurred in only two cases (6.9%) and 25 femoral components (86%) remained well fixed.
