1. Acetabular Revisions. Risk Factors and Prediction of Re-revision
Abstract : Hip replacement is a successful intervention when treating patients with hip osteoarthritis. Approximately 10% of all patients undergoing primary hip replacement surgery require further surgical interventions (revisions) during their lifetime. Acetabular component (cup) failure is the most common reason for a revision. READ MORE

2. Revision Hip Arthroplasty : Impaction Bone Grafting and Low-Dose CT-Based Measurements of Bone Density and Migration
Abstract : Aseptic loosening of total hip replacements is always associated with bone defects, either due to removal of the existing implant or osteolysis. Bone defects can be handled during revision surgery with impaction bone grafting (IBG). READ MORE

3. Hip Revision Surgery : Identification of Genetic Markers and Evaluation of Novel Treatment Strategies
Abstract : Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is, despite its overall good outcome, for some patients followed by hip revision surgery. This seems in parts to be because of genetic susceptibility to revision surgery. The most common reason for revision surgery is aseptic loosening followed by periprosthetic joint infection and dislocation. READ MORE

4. On loosening and revision in total hip arthroplasty
Abstract : Periprosthetic bone resorbtion (osteolysis) and aseptic loosening constitute the major long-term complication in total hip arthroplasty. It has been suggested that osteolysis is the result of the action of osteoclasts generated by prosthetic wear-debris-triggered macrophages. READ MORE

5. Assessment of acetabular cup position with computed tomography
Abstract : Background: Revision of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) due to loosening is necessary in many patients. Diagnosis is usually late with significant bone and soft tissue destruction. Available diagnostic techniques are either not sensitive enough or too complicated and expensive for routine use. READ MORE
