Problems in Revision Surgery of Cemented Total Hip Replacement

Twenty-four hips with revised cemented total hip replacement (THR) were reviewed for analizing problems of the revision surgery for non-septic loosening of cemented THR.Clinical complications such as deep infection, dislocation and femoral shaft fracture were found in four one, and one hip after the revision surgery. Four patients had trochanteric complication.Radilogically, clear zones developed early at the stem side. Revised hips with long stems were associated with poorly packed cement condition.The result of this study suggested the more risk of the various troubles at the cemented stem of revised THR. We recentry use the cementless stems combined with auto or allo bone graft for revision surgery.
