Total hip arthroplasty for failed endoprostheses. 1978

A Sarmiento, and F M Gerard

Ninety total hip Charnley arthroplasties were performed in 80 patients with failed endoprostheses between July, 1970, and November, 1975. Pain was completely alleviated or minimal in 97.7% of cases. The ability to ambulate improved in all cases with 93.2% good or excellent results. Low grade infection must be considered in treating failed endoprostheses. Appropriate surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy offer a reasonably good chance for success.
