Use of Limited Femorotomy as an Alternative to Extensive Trochanteric Osteotomy for Cementless Femoral Prosthesis Revision.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cementless stem extraction during hip arthroplasty revision can be challenging and sometimes requires a femoral opening to be performed with limited posterior femorotomy techniques been described. The study objective was to assess the efficacy of these techniques and the perioperative and postoperative complication rates.

Methods

This study included 224 patients who underwent cementless stem revision. Stem extraction followed the same sequence: an initial endomedullary extraction attempt, followed by suspended posterior unicortical vertical diaphyseal femoral osteotomy. Metaphyseal extension of the osteotomy and lateral-distal cortical extension at the stem tip were performed if the procedure failed, followed by extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO). The incidence
