Mid-Term Outcomes of Cement-In-Cement Revision for Aseptic Loosening Versus Infection: A Comparative Study in a Small Retrospective Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The cement-in-cement technique, which preserves the original cement mantle, has become a widely used surgical method in hip revision surgeries due to its ability to significantly simplify the procedure. Currently, no studies have directly compared the mid-term outcomes of using the cement-in-cement technique in patients with aseptic loosening vs those undergoing 1-stage revisions due to infection. We report the clinical and radiological outcomes of cement-in-cement femoral revisions performed for aseptic loosening and infection of hip.

Methods

We identified all patients undergoing cement-in-cement revision from January 2014 to October 2025. All cases were performed by the senior author using the Exeter Stem (Stryker Orthopaedics, Mahwah, New Jersey). Patients were
