Stem and Osteotomy Length are Critical for Success of the Transfemoral Approach and Cementless Stem Revision

摘要

BackgroundThe transfemoral approach is an extensile surgical approach that is performed routinely to facilitate cement and implant removal and improve exposure for revision stem implantation. Previous studies have looked at clinical results of small patient groups. The factors associated with fixation failure of cementless revision stems when using this approach have not been examined.
