Introduction: Although primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) stem designs have evolved from conventional lengths to shorter lengths, revision stems have not undergone a similar change. Tapered, conical prostheses have performed well in primary THA, however their use in revision THA has not been thoroughly investigated. Our purpose was to report the short-term radiographic and clinical outcomes of the Wagner Cone Prosthesis® (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, Indiana) in revision THA.
Materials And Methods: An institutional review board approved retrospective study was performed to identify all revision THAs with minimum one-year clinical and radiographic follow up between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2018, which used a short conical tapered stem to reconstruct the femur. Demographic, surgical, and radiographic variables were collected for each patient.
Results: Fifteen hips that fit inclusion criteria were identified. Implant survivorship was 93.3% with a mean follow up of 33.6 months. Radiographic analysis revealed mean subsidence of 2.57mm ± 4.31mm and a limb-length difference of 0.69mm ± 12.4mm longer than the contralateral side. Furthermore, pedestal sign was observed on preoperative radiographs of six patients, none of whom suffered periprosthetic fracture or femoral cortex perforation upon insertion of the conical prosthesis.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the Wagner Cone Prosthesis® is as a useful implant for revision THA. In our sample, it had excellent survivorship, impressive postoperative radiographic measurements obtained from most recent follow up, minimal mean subsidence, and minimal complication rates. Further prospective studies with longer follow up are needed to determine the efficacy of this stem in revision THA.

Objectives: To determine the influence of obesity on revision rates and mortality after primary elective hip and knee arthroplasty in Germany.
Materials And Methods: In the German Arthroplasty Registry (EPRD) there were 403,073 elective total hip arthroplasties (THA), 320,913 bicondylar total knee arthroplasties (TKA) and 48,480 unicondylar knee arthroplasties (UKA) with valid BMI available for analysis. Cumulative revision rates and 1‑year mortality was calculated for BMI groups.

Background: In this study, we estimated the risk of surgically treated postoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures (POPFFs) associated with femoral implants frequently used for total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: In this cohort study of patients who underwent primary THA in England between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2020, POPFFs were identified from prospectively collected revision records and national hospital records. POPFF incidence rates, adjusting for potential confounders, were estimated for common stems.
Dislocation is the second most common indication for revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). In revision cases the dislocation rate can be as high as 5-30%. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome, specifically the dislocation rate in revision THA where a dual mobility cup was used.

Background: A population-based study delineating the epidemiologic, clinical, and treatment characteristics of femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in elderly patients has not yet been conducted in Turkey. In this nationwide study, the epidemiologic, clinical, and treatment characteristics of patients aged ⩾65 years with FNFs who underwent osteosynthesis, hemiarthroplasty (HA), or total hip arthroplasty (THA) were examined.
Methods: Patients aged ⩾65 years with FNFs were identified in this retrospective, nationwide study.

Background: The risk of early revision of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for polyethylene wear is now low, but there remains a need to perform wear measurements in patients for clinical surveillance. The gold standard of wear measurements has been radiostereometric analysis (RSA), which has limited availability. The use of computed tomography (CT) to perform THA wear measurement was described a decade ago and found to have acceptable accuracy and precision, but high radiation dose was a concern.
