Functional and Radiological outcomes of Revision Total Hip replacement-Midterm Analysis

Prospective study of twenty-four patients who underwent revision total hip replacement in Sri Ramachandra medical centre. The study period was from June 2010 to Dec 2014. The inclusion criteria were Revision total hip replacements done following primary total hip replacement both cemented and uncemented, aseptic loosening, infections (including staged revisions), instability and implant failure. The exclusion criteria were revision total hip replacements done for failed internal fixation around the hip and bipolar arthroplasty. The mean pre op Harris hip score was 38.6 while mean post op Harris hip score was 83. The difference between mean pre op and post op Harris hip score was 44.4. In our series as per Harris hip score criteria we had 50% good result. Revision total hip replacement surgery is an extensive operative procedure with significant number of complications, though it gives good results as shown in our study.
