Exeter-Ogee total hip replacement using the Hardinge approach; the ten to twelve year results.
We reviewed 131 consecutive primary total hip replacements implanted into 127 patients between 1995 and 1997. Surgery was performed through a Hardinge approach using the Exeter universal stem in combination with the Ogee Elite acetabular component.Five of 131 hips have required revision. The ten year survival analysis demonstrates: 95.3% survival with revision for any cause as the end point; 98.9% with revision for aseptic loosening of the stem as the endpoint, 98.1% revision for aseptic loosening of the acetabular component as the endpoint. There were no cases of dislocation.Our findings show that the Exeter universal stem in combination with the Ogee Elite acetabular component can be inserted through a Hardinge approach in a district general setting with results comparable to surgery performed in a specialist unit and through a posterior approach.
