Abstract
During the last two decades, revision hip arthroplasty is
constantly in the focus of orthopedic surgeons as the numbers of these
difficult and risky surgeries are increasing.
The paradigm of revision surgery has been evolving constantly.
from polyethylene wear, osteolysis and loosening, to complexities
such as pelvic discontinuity, there is a wide range of surgical options
for successful reconstruction.
It is vital for the surgeon to be familiar with different treatment
approaches and to anticipate various intra-operative scenarios.
Systematic approach with considerable preoperative evaluation and
planning will achieve a good result.
Prerequisite for a successful and durable revision include viable
host bone, adequate surgical technique and stable and endurable
implant. Current improvements in surgical techniques, implant
designs, as well as biomaterials and bearing surfaces are a significant
contribution for obtaining favorable outcome after revision hip
arthroplasty. The optimal surgical approach for revision THA varies
among different settings, however the primary incision should be
considered.
