Exeter Universal total hip arthroplasties (350 patients) operated
on at a mean age of 66.3 years (17 to 94). Patients and Methods. All patients received the same design of femoral component, regardless
of the original diagnosis. Previous surgery had been undertaken
for 33 hips (8.6%). During the study period 218 patients with 236
hips (62%) died, 42 hips (11%) were revised and 110 hips (29%) in
96 patients were available for review. The acetabular components
were varied and some designs are now obsolete, however they were

The aim of this study was to report the initial results of the
Exeter V40 stem, which became available in 2000. A total of 540 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) were performed
in our unit using this stem between December 2000 and May 2002.
Our routine protocol is to review patients postoperatively and at
one, five, and ten years following surgery.Aims
Patients and Methods
Aims. The Exeter short stem was designed for patients with Dorr type A femora and short-term results are promising. The aim of this study was to evaluate the minimum five-year stem migration pattern of Exeter short stems in comparison with Exeter standard stems. Methods. In this case-control study, 25 patients (22 female) at mean age of 78 years (70 to 89) received
Aims. Highly polished stems with force-closed design have shown satisfactory clinical results despite being related to relatively high early migration. It has been suggested that the minimal thickness of

Aims. Femoral cement-in-cement revision is a well described technique to reduce morbidity and complications in hip revision surgery. Traditional techniques for septic revision of hip arthroplasty necessitate removal of all bone

Aims. Cementing in arthroplasty for hip fracture is associated with improved postoperative function, but may have an increased risk of early mortality compared to uncemented fixation. Quantifying this mortality risk is important in providing safe patient care. This study investigated the association between
