Alumina ceramic-on-ceramic total hip replacement with a layered acetabular component

From: Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery | Date: July 1, 2006| Author: Sudo, A; Uchida, A; Hasegawa, M | Copyright information

A modular layered acetabular component (metal-polyethylene-ceramic) was developed in Japan for use in alumina ceramic-on-ceramic total hip replacement. Between May 1999 and July 2000, we performed 35 alumina ceramic-on-ceramic total hip replacements in 30 consecutive patients, using this layered component and evaluated the clinical and radiological results over a mean follow-up of 5.8 years (5 to 6.5). A total of six hips underwent revision, one for infection, two for dislocation with looseni...

Position of the acetabular component determines the fate of femoral head autografts in total hip replacement for acetabular dysplasia
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery ; We have reviewed 54 patients who had undergone 61 total hip replacements using bulk femoral autografts to augment a congenitally dysplastic acetabulum. There were 52 women and two men with a mean age of 42.4 years (29 to 76) at the time of the index operation. A variety of different prostheses was
Imageless navigation for insertion of the acetabular component in total hip arthroplasty
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery ; IS IT AS ACCURATE AS CT-BASED NAVIGATION? In a prospective randomised clinical study acetabular components were implanted either freehand (n = 30) or using CT-based (n = 30) or imageless navigation (n = 30). The position of the component was determined post-operatively on CT scans of the pelvis.
