Abstract

We followed 39 patients with 40 revision hip arthroplasties using the Wagner stem. Mean follow-up was 65 (29–108) months. There were 12 intraoperative proximal femoral fractures, which all united, five postoperative dislocations not related to subsidence, and two loose stems that were revised. Clinical improvement was best for pain. Once the stem was osteointegrated the clinical and radiological result remained stable for up to 9 years.

Résumé

Nous avons suivi 39 patients aprés 40 révisions d'arthroplastie de la hanche en utilisant la tige de Wagner. Le suivi était en moyenne 65 (29–108) mois. Il y avait 12 fractures fémorales proximales peropératoires, qui ont toutes consolidées. Il y avait 5 luxations postopératoires non liées à un enfoncement de la tige. Deux tiges descellées ont été revisées. L'amélioration clinique était meilleure pour la douleur. Une fois que la tige etait osteo-intégrée, le résultat clinique et radiologique est resté stable juqu'au recul de neuf ans.
