Long-term results of hip arthroplasty for failure of previous surgery
1988
We report a retrospective review of 127 low friction arthroplasties carried out for the failure of a previous hip operation. After an average follow-up of 10.4 years, 20% of cases required further revision, over half of them for deep infection. We estimated from the radiographic appearances that eventual failure by loosening was probable in 58% on the femoral side and 56% on the acetabular side of the arthroplasties.
