Long-term functional results of revision hip replacement using Burch-Schneider cages.

Introduction: One of the most common and effective treatments for end-stage hip osteoarthritis is total hip arthroplasty (THA). According to the WHO, 1.5 million, more than 500,000, and approximately 100,000 THAs are performed annually in the world, in the USA, and in Russia, respectively.

Three-Dimensional Models in Planning of Revision Hip Arthroplasty with Complex Acetabular Defects.

Background: Careful preoperative planning in revision cases with complex acetabular defects is crucial for optimal surgery outcome. However, in many cases, computed tomography (CT) scans cannot give a clear understanding of the pelvic destruction. Three-dimensional (3D) models-based on CT data can help surgeon in planning of complex acetabular reconstruction.
