The Corail stem is a fully HA coated tapered implant that has demonstrated long-term success. On the NJR it has become one of the most commonly used implants in the UK. The aim of our study was to document our experience of the revision of this implant together highlighting some important technical considerations. A retrospective review of a consecutive case series of revision procedures where the Corail stem was extracted. We considered time since implantation, collared or uncollared design, indication for revision, Paprosky classification of femoral deficiency, endo-femoral reconstruction or extended approach/osteotomy, subsequent reconstruction either further primary type implant (cemented or cementless) or revision femoral implant.Introduction
