Radiology of failed surface-replacement total-hip arthroplasty. 1982

L W Bassett, and R H Gold, and A K Hedley

The radiographs, arthrograms, and bone scans in 23 patients with surgically confirmed failed total-surface hip replacement were reviewed. Guidelines for evaluation of the acetabular component are identical to those for conventional total arthroplasty. The femoral component of a surface-replacement total hip arthroplasty consists of a metallic cup affixed to a resurfaced femoral head with interposed methyl methacrylate. Because of bone-acrylic interface is obscured by the metallic cup, the radiographic features of loosening are limited to an abnormal alignment of the metallic cup in relation to the femoral neck or a change in the position of the cup in serial radiographs. These signs may be subtle. While the metallic cup may often prevent visualization of underlying isotope activity at the bone-acrylic interface, increased activity at the base of the cup when identified suggests loosening or infection.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010003 Osteoarthritis A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
