As the number of patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty rises, the number of patients requiring revision surgery for a failed total hip arthroplasty increases as well. It is estimated that 183,000 total hip replacements were performed in the United States in 2000 and that 31,000 (17%) of these were revision procedures1. Femoral reconstruction at the time of revision total hip arthroplasty can be challenging both from a technical perspective and in terms of preoperative planning. With multiple reconstructive options available, it is helpful to have a classification system available to guide the surgeon in selecting the appropriate method of reconstruction. A system for the classification of femoral deficiency that was developed by the senior author (W.G.P.)2 and an algorithmic approach to femoral reconstruction are presented in the current report.

Seventy-one consecutive femoral revision arthroplasties that involved reconstruction with an extensively coated, diaphyseal fitting stem were reviewed at . . . [Full Text of this Article]
