  • Title: Revision of failed hip resurfacing.
    Author: Bradley GW, Freeman MA.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1983 Sep; (178):236-40. PubMed ID: 6883857.
    Abstract:
    Resurfacing arthroplasty of the hip is a relatively recent innovation that has theoretic advantages in certain instances. One alleged advantage is "revisability." At the London Hospital 28 resurfaced hips that were converted to stemmed hip arthroplasties have been reviewed. Follow-up periods averaged 2.8 years (range, 1-9 years). Almost 90% of these hips were functioning satisfactorily at the time of review. The data suggest that the result of revising a resurfaced hip may be predictably better than that of revising a stemmed hip arthroplasty.
