Implant removal in revision hip surgery
Orthopaedics and Trauma, 10/29/09

Manktelow ARJ – Implant removal is a major part of revision hip surgery. A complication, such as fracture or perforation during implant removal, more common in the presence of surrounding osteopenia, can compromise subsequent reconstruction. Similarly, care must be taken to avoid additional bone loss during implant removal. Various techniques are available on both the femoral and acetabular sides that can facilitate the procedure. Recent developments in instrumentation can prove helpful.
