International Orthopaedics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Mechanical complications of double cup arthroplasty of the hip are common, particularly loosening of the components. This paper describes a series of 26 such operations with an average follow-up of 67 months. There was a failure rate or 53.8% and these hips had to be revised with another type of replacement. Our results are compared with other reported series.

Résumé

Les complications mécaniques des arthroplasties de hanche par double cupule cimentée sont fréquentes et tout particulièrement leur descellement. Cet article analyse une série de 26 arthroplasties par cupules couplées scellées avec un recul moyen de 67 mois, comportant 53.8% d'échecs qui ont motivé la reprise par un autre type de prothèse. Ces résultats sont comparés à ceux des autres séries publiées d'arthroplasties par cupules couplées de la hanche.
