Cemented calcar replacement femoral component in revision hybrid total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract

We evaluated intermediate-term to long-term survival of cemented calcar replacement femoral components in hybrid revision total hip arthroplasty. We followed up 52 hips in 50 patients for a mean of 11.4 years. Six (12%) femoral components had been revised: 2 for aseptic loosening, 2 for periprosthetic fracture, and 2 for deep infection. One additional femoral component was definitely loose. The number of previous revision operations (P = .004), preoperatively poorer femoral bone stock (P = .005), and postoperative poor cement mantle grading (P = .003) were significant factors for failure. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the 15-year survival rate was 90% with mechanical failure as the end point. This technique remains a reasonable option for the first-time revision, especially for older and less active patients.
