title: The replacement of aseptically loosened cementless acetabula in the hip joint.
abstract: Background. The aim of our study is to assess early results after revision arthroplasty in aseptic loosening of uncemented sockets. <br /> Material and methods. We treated 14 patients (9 women and 5 men) in age ranging from 42 to 59 years (average age was 49 years). In 5 cases we exchanged also uncemented stem. All patients were qualified to revision arthroplasty after physical examination and taking radiological findings. In some cases we did CT scans and bone scintigraphy. <br /> Results. In all cases we obtained good and satisfactory results. <br /> Conclusions. Early surgical treatment can spare the patient from a risky procedure and lead to better results.
