The Wagner revision prosthesis consistently restores femoral bone structure.
The short-term results are reported for 43 hip revision operations with the long-stemmed Wagner prosthesis. The patients were followed-up for an average of 25 months. The Charnley scores were; pain 5.2, movement 4.0 and walking 4.0. All patients except one showed abundant new bone formation. The stem subsided more than 20 mm in 5 patients and in 22 the subsidence was less than 5 mm. The major complication was dislocation, which occurred in 9 patients; 8 of these were reoperated and from then on remained stable.
