Revision of Mueller Total Hip Arthroplasties

A clinical, radiological and biomechanical study of the TARA hip prosthesis

“…In revising a conventional total hip a high incidence of complications is often reported, e.g. perforation of the femoral shaft, fracture of the femoral shaft or perforation of the acetabulum [6,15,23]. The postoperative infectioin rate after revision of hip prostheses is also higher in cases with a conventional total hip compared to cases with a resurfacing prosthesis et al [3,26,29,35].…”

Biomechanical factors in loosening of the Stanmore hip

“…In clinical practice, these procedures have proven successful , Hoogland et al 1981 and there is no doubt that the bonding strength of the cement is improved by these measures (Oh et al 1978). In our opinion medullary plugging and the use of a cement gun can be recommended to improve the cement mantle, but we are more reluctant to recommend pressurizing until studies on possibly adverse effects on bone remodelling have been completed.…”

Triflange acetabular reconstruction for pelvic discontinuity through a direct anterior approach

“…Instability after revision THA via the posterior approach has been reported up to 15% in the literature [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32]. Alberton et al.…”
