Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners
Loose femoral prosthesis. Can it be successfully revised anteriorly?
54 yr old - 2.5 years post-surgery, loose femoral component (Gruen zones 1,2,6,7,8,9,13,14). Tissue and fluid biopsies clear. Initial total hip replacement was done anteriorly.
Can revision be performed anteriorly? Is fracture a concern if I hold off from having surgery?
How successful are revisions in terms of functionality and longevity?
