[Non-cemented reimplantation of failed hip prosthesis].

Abstract

After reviewing their series of prosthetic revisions and comparing it with other reports in literature, the authors reassess, where possible, classic conservative intervention as well as the indications for cemented prostheses given the poor long-term reliability of the bone-cement interface. The authors emphasize the always more frequent incidence of prosthetic loosening and the resulting need for surgical revision, especially in patients who were under 65 years of age at the time of primary prosthetic replacement. Finally, the authors present their clinical and surgical experience in revision using cementless implants, which they prefer in this type of operation.
