Introduction. The Exeter Hip femoral component remains largely unchanged from the original design, introduced in 1970. It is a highly polished, modular, double tapered stem and has undergone various minor modifications to surface, modularity and most recently the taper; changed to the current
Aims. Several different designs of hemiarthroplasty are used to treat intracapsular fractures of the proximal femur, with large variations in costs. No clinical benefit of modular over monoblock designs has been reported in the literature. Long-term data are lacking. The aim of this study was to report the ten-year implant survival of commonly used designs of hemiarthroplasty. Methods. Patients recorded by the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) between 1 September 1999 and 31 December 2020 who underwent hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of a hip fracture with the following implants were included: a cemented monoblock Exeter Trauma Stem (ETS), cemented Exeter

Aims. The objective of this study was to compare the two-year migration and clinical outcomes of a new cementless hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated titanium acetabular shell with its previous version, which shared the same geometrical design but a different manufacturing process for applying the titanium surface. Methods. Overall, 87 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) were randomized to either a Trident II HA or Trident HA shell, each cementless with clusterholes and HA-coating. All components were used in combination with a cemented Exeter
Background. Periprosthetic femoral fractures following total hip arthroplasty are relatively uncommon but are associated with significant morbidity. With an increasing number of total hip arthroplasties being carried out in an aging population we need to ensure correct implants are chosen for our patients. A recent review of NJR data suggested a significantly higher revision risk for the Zimmer CPT stems due to periprosthetic fractures when compared to the Stryker Exeter stems. Objectives. Our aim was to compare the biomechanics of periprosthetic fractures around the CPT and Exeter
Aims. Periprosthetic fracture (PF) after primary total hip arthroplasty
(THA) is an uncommon but potentially devastating complication. This
study aims to investigate the influence of cemented stem designs
on the risk of needing a revision for a PF. Patients and Methods. We analysed data on 257 202 primary THAs with cemented stems
and 390 linked first revisions for PF recorded in the National Joint
Registry (NJR) of England, Wales and Northern Ireland to determine
if a cemented femoral stem brand was associated with the risk of
having revision for a PF after primary THA. All cemented femoral
stem brands with more than 10 000 primary operations recorded in
the NJR were identified. The four most commonly used cemented femoral
stems were the Exeter
In this RCT the primary aim was to assess whether a short (125mm) Exeter
Aims. There are limited published data detailing the volumetric material loss from tapers of conventional metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) total hip arthroplasties (THAs). Our aim was to address this by comparing the taper wear rates measured in an explanted cohort of the widely used Exeter THA with those measured in a group of metal-on-metal (MoM) THAs. Patients and Methods. We examined an existing retrieval database to identify all Exeter
Modular femoral stems offer surgeons great flexibility in biomechanical configuration during total hip replacement (THR) however introduce a taper-trunnion articulation known to be a source of additional wear debris through crevice, fretting and galvanic corrosion with mixed material combinations. This study aimed to investigate the influence of the trunnion bearing surface combination on the revision rate following primary total hip replacement (THR). All patients who underwent THR using an Exeter
Introduction/Aims. The Exeter Stem can be used with metal femoral head that are made of either cobalt chrome, or stainless steel. The aim of this study was to compare the rates of revision of these two metal femoral head types when used with this femoral component. Method. Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) Data from September 1999 until December 2015 for all primary THRs using an Exeter or an Exeter
Objectives. Previous studies have evidenced cement-in-cement techniques as reliable in revision arthroplasty. Commonly, the original cement mantle is reshaped, aiding accurate placement of the new stem. Ultrasonic devices selectively remove cement, preserve host bone, and have lower cortical perforation rates than other techniques. As far as the authors are aware, the impact of ultrasonic devices on final cement-in-cement bonds has not been investigated. This study assessed the impact of cement removal using the Orthosonics System for Cemented Arthroplasty Revision (OSCAR; Orthosonics) on final cement-in-cement bonds. Methods. A total of 24 specimens were manufactured by pouring cement (Simplex P Bone Cement; Stryker) into stainless steel moulds, with a central rod polished to Stryker Exeter
Objectives. The use of ceramic femoral heads in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased due to their proven low bearing wear characteristics. Ceramic femoral heads are also thought to reduce wear and corrosion at the head-stem junction with titanium (Ti) stems when compared with metal heads. We sought to evaluate taper damage of ceramic compared with metal heads when paired with cobalt chromium (CoCr) alloy stems in a single stem design. Methods. This retrieval study involved 48 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) with CoCr
In metal-on-metal (MoM) hip arthroplasties and resurfacings, mechanically induced corrosion can lead to elevated serum metal ions, a local inflammatory response, and formation of pseudotumours, ultimately requiring revision. The size and diametral clearance of anatomical (ADM) and modular (MDM) dual-mobility polyethylene bearings match those of Birmingham hip MoM components. If the acetabular component is satisfactorily positioned, well integrated into the bone, and has no surface damage, this presents the opportunity for revision with exchange of the metal head for ADM/MDM polyethylene bearings without removal of the acetabular component. Between 2012 and 2020, across two centres, 94 patients underwent revision of Birmingham MoM hip arthroplasties or resurfacings. Mean age was 65.5 years (33 to 87). In 53 patients (56.4%), the acetabular component was retained and dual-mobility bearings were used (DM); in 41 (43.6%) the acetabulum was revised (AR). Patients underwent follow-up of minimum two-years (mean 4.6 (2.1 to 8.5) years).Aims
