The Exeter short revision stem for cement-in-cement femoral revision: A five to twelve-year review
Journal of Arthroplasty Apr 23, 2019
Woodbridge AB, et al. - Between 2004 and 2010, 166 cases were performed and evaluated the consequence of Exeter short revision stems used for cement-in-cement revision total hip arthroplasty, with a minimum of 5 years of follow-up. They observed that 6 hips required re-revision (infection 6, loose cup 3, periprosthetic fracture 3, instability 2, stem fracture with chronic infection 1, and pain 1). At 10 years, they recorded 100% survival for aseptic stem loosening, 96.8% survival for stem failure, and 88.9% survival for all causes in Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. They demonstrated the comparable performance of the Exeter short revision stem as well as standard length stems for cement-in-cement revision.
