Clinical and radiological outcomes and analysis of failures of modular revisions stems at long-term follow-up: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increasingly hip replacements at young age exposes the patient to an increased risk of failure of the implant over the years. In case of failure, revision specific stems were designed to overcome bone loss. Modularity of these devices is an important resource for the surgeon as they allow the new implant to be better adapted to the patient's anatomy. The purpose of this systematic review is to provide data about the outcome at long-term follow-up (>8 years) of hip modular revision femoral stems.

Methods

This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement guidelines. PubMed and Google Scholar databases were systematically and independently searched, according to
