Abstract

Extended trochanteric osteotomy facilitates femoral reconstruction in revision total hip arthroplasty. This study examined the outcome of extended trochanteric osteotomy combined with a proximally porous-coated calcar replacement prosthesis during revision total hip arthroplasty. Forty-five cases were reviewed with an osteotomy union rate of 98%. No femoral component was loose radiographically, and none were revised for loosening. These findings indicate excellent short-term clinical and radiographic results can be achieved with an extended trochanteric osteotomy and proximally porous-coated calcar replacement prosthesis.
