Abstract

IntroductionCurrently, there are different treatment options to perform a revision of a failed total hip arthroplasty (RTHA). The use of cemented long femoral stems associated with the use of morcelled bone graft is one of these modalities for the RTC with poor quality and loss of bone capital.MethodsWe analyze retrospectively 33 RTHA, with an average follow-up of 4 years. The causes of the review were in 28 cases mechanical losing, 3 peri-prosthetic fractures and 2 failures of osteosynthesis. Long stems cups and 30 were used in all cases (90%) cases I use ground bone graft.ResultsWith regard to the behaviour of the stems the average sinking was 4 mm. See the graft integration in 27(90%) of the 30 cases, had 3 radiological failures where the stems were sunk in two opportunities 8 mm and the remaining 12 mm. In addition there were 2 false tracks (6%), 2 dislocations (6%) and 2 pseudoarthrosis of major trochanter (6%)ConclusionThe use of cemented long femoral stems associated with impacted bone graft in cases where the distal femur is not suitable to receive a uncemented stem of distal fixation impresses be a proper reconstruction technique for RTHA with bone capital deficit. It must be made in centers of reference by experienced hands that it is not free of complications.
