Clinical outcome of Bioball universal adapter in revision hip arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Removal of a well-fixed uncemented femoral component in revision hip arthroplasty is challenging. A modular head-neck adapter provides an option to optimise the femoral offset and anteversion, avoiding the need for femoral stem revision.

Aim

To present the clinical results following revision arthroplasty with the Bioball head-neck adapter in the elderly American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) Grade II, III & IV patients.

Materials and methods

A retrospective review of our database was performed, and all patients classed as ASA grades II, III, & IV treated with the Bioball Universal Adapter (BUA) for 10 years were included. The indication for revision, stem retention, type of adapter, and head size were identified. Patients were contacted by a research
