Revision of total hip arthroplasty in octogenarians

WT Ballard, JJ Callaghan and RC Johnston
Iowa Methodist Medical Center, Des Moines, USA.

Twenty-seven revision total hip arthroplasties were performed in patients who were at least eighty years old. The average duration of follow-up was five years. There were no perioperative deaths, and only 11 per cent (three) of the patients had a major complication; all of the complications resolved. The only re-revision was the placement of an extended lip-liner for the treatment of recurrent dislocation. Of the twenty-five patients who were alive at the time of the most recent follow-up or who had been survived by a family member who could be interviewed, twenty-one (84 per cent) said that the operation had improved function, twenty-three (92 per cent) had less pain, and twenty-two (88 per cent) were satisfied with the result.
