title: Factors affecting socket fixation after cemented revision.
abstract: Factors influencing the radiographic outcome of revised cemented sockets have been investigated in 360 cases; 70 with radiological signs of failure were analysed. The acetabular bone stock at revision and preparation of the acetabular floor were the two factors which had a significant influence on the outcome. The thickness of the cement mantle around the socket also had an influence. Young patients were at a higher risk of failure. The use of a flanged socket and an acetabular cement pressuriser appeared to improve the radiographic result, but this was not statistically significant.
