title: Cemented total hip arthroplasty following previous femoral osteotomy: an average 16-year follow-up study.
abstract: The indications for proximal femoral osteotomy would be substantially limited if it significantly compromised the outcome of a subsequent hip arthroplasty. Previous reports have followed only early cementing techniques over intermediate duration. This study comprised 22 primary cemented total hip arthroplasties performed by a single surgeon following failed proximal femoral osteotomies at an average follow-up period of 15.8 years. Three patients who died prior to the 11-year minimum follow-up period are not included, leaving 19 hips for long-term review. All stems were cemented with second-generation techniques. Stem placement and collar-calcar contact, however, were substantially worse compared with historical control subjects. Eight reconstructions required custom miniature or calcar replacement components, and in 6 hips, the stems were inserted only in the diaphysis. Two of 19 femoral components (10.5%) were revised for aseptic loosening and 2 additional femoral components were loose. The average Harris hip score of those not revised was 80.4. Five acetabular components (26.3%) required revision. Four additional cups were loose, yielding a total acetabular loosening rate of 47.4% at 15.5 years. Intertrochanteric osteotomy in general did not affect the expected excellent results of the femoral component using modern cementing techniques. Severe deformity following subtrochanteric osteotomy, however, did adversely affect the outcome.
