Removal of well-fixed, cementless, acetabular components in revision hip arthroplasty



Download PDF

Abstract

Removal of well-fixed, cementless, acetabular components during revision arthroplasty remains a challenging problem. Further damage to host bone may limit options for reconstruction and compromise the long-term result of the revision operation. We report the results of 31 hips with well-fixed, cementless sockets which were removed using a new cup extraction system. In all hips the socket was removed without difficulty and with minimal further bone loss.


Correspondence should be sent to Dr B. A. Masri.
