We present the results of 62 consecutive acetabular

Aims. There are many guidelines that help direct the management of
patients with metal-on-metal (MOM) hip arthroplasties. We have undertaken
a study to compare the management of patients with MOM hip arthroplasties in
different countries. . Methods. Six international tertiary referral orthopaedic centres were
invited to participate by organising a multi-disciplinary team (MDT)
meeting, consisting of two or more
Failure of total hip arthroplasty with acetabular deficiency occurred in 55 patients (60 hips) and was treated with acetabular
We carried out a retrospective case-control study in 80 patients who underwent a revision total hip replacement. Group A (40 patients) received tranexamic acid and intra-operative cell salvage. Group B (40 patients) was a matched control group and did not receive this management. Each group was divided into four subgroups:
We evaluated the accuracy with which a custom-made
acetabular component could be positioned at

We report the results of 62 hips in 62 patients
(17 males, 45 females) with mean age of 62.4 years (37 to 81), who underwent
revision of the acetabular component of a total hip replacement
due to aseptic loosening between May 2003 and November 2007. All
hips had a Paprosky type IIIa acetabular defect. Acetabular revision
was undertaken using a Procotyl E cementless oblong implant with
modular side plates and a hook combined with impaction allografting. . At a mean follow-up of 60.5 months (36 to 94) with no patients
lost to follow-up and one died due to unrelated illness, the complication
rate was 38.7%. Complications included aseptic loosening (19 hips),
deep infection (3 hips), broken hook and side plate (one hip) and
a femoral nerve palsy (one hip). Further
We assessed the outcome of patients who were
lost to follow-up after arthroplasty by a single surgeon. The aim was
to validate the surgeon’s data set with the Australian Orthopaedic
Association National Joint Replacement Registry and determine the
outcome of those patients lost to follow-up. Prospective data on patient demographics, operative details and
outcomes of the surgeon’s 1192 primary unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
(UKA) procedures were analysed. There were 69 knees in patients
who were lost to follow-up, among whom the Registry identified 31
deaths and eight
We report the use of porous metal acetabular
revision shells in the treatment of contained bone loss. The outcomes of
53 patients with ≤ 50% acetabular bleeding host bone
contact were compared with a control group of 49 patients with >
50% to 85% bleeding host bone contact. All patients were treated
with the same type of trabecular metal acetabular
Periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) is a potentially
devastating complication after total hip arthroplasty, with historically
high rates of complication and failure because of the technical
challenges of surgery, as well as the prevalence of advanced age
and comorbidity in the patients at risk. This study describes the short-term outcome after
Endoprosthetic reconstruction following resection of 31 tumours of the proximal femur in 30 patients was performed using a Wagner SL femoral
