[An analysis of selected risk factors of aseptic loosening of hip endoprosthesis].
An analysis of selected risk factors of aseptic loosening of hip endoprosthesis has been attempted on the ground of retrospective evaluation of 57 hips in 54 patients (41 females, 13 males) who underwent revision of the hip replacement. Age of the patients at primary surgery ranged from 18 to 73 years (mean 55.6 years). Follow-up ranged from 8 to 212 months (mean 83 months). Originally, in 45 cases cemented hip replacement was done and in 12 cementless endoprosthesis was implanted. In 34 cases both components were replaced, in 14 cases acetabular component, in 9 cases stem only and in 1 case the endoprosthesis was removed. Clinical evaluation was done according to Merle-d'Aubignea criteria, radiologic assessment was done according to DeLee and Charnley classification and the one of Gruen. Within 10 years after primary surgery all cementless hips were revised (all Parhofer-Mönch type within 5 years). Among Weller cemented replacements both components were replaced in 18 cases, acetabulum in 8, the stem in 5 and 1 endoprosthesis was removed. McKee-Farrar implants were replaced completely in all but 2 cases. Most of revisions among cemented hip replacements took place 10 years after primary operation. Angular migration of the acetabular component was found in 40 cases; in 8 cases no migration was observed. Forty-three hips with loosened stem have been analyzed: to small size of the stem was found in 6 cases, varus deviation was found in 14 cases and valgus deviation in 6. Special attention has been paid to the technical errors that are essential for long-term result of hip replacement.
