Good results with an uncemented proximally HA-coated stem in hip revision surgery: 62 hips followed for 2-13 years.

Background And Purpose: Proximal bone loss due to stress-shielding is a matter of concern after uncemented femoral hip revision. We have used short, proximally hydroxyapatite-coated prostheses in revision since 1989, and we now report the results.

Methods: 60 patients (62 hips) were revised because of aseptic loosening.
