A cementless titanium femoral stem was revised 5 years after implantation because of acute pain and progressive osteolysis. Substantial amounts of titanium and polyethylene wear debris were found in the surrounding tissues. Multiple sources of this debris were found as well as detachment of titanium fiber-mesh pads from the body of the femoral stem.

The 'Japanese paradox' of total hip arthroplasty: where are we going?
Expert Rev Med Devices
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Hirakata, Osaka, Japan.
Introduction: There is a worldwide trend toward 'revisiting' cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). In Japan, however, cemented THAs accounts for 11%, and the percentage of cemented hemiarthroplasty is estimated to be less than 10%. This review was designed to reconsider the option of cemented THA and to encourage policy changes in Japan to support the best possible care for patients.

Grampian Orthopaedics, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Aberdeen, UK.
Aims: The Exeter femoral stem has a cemented, polished taper-slip design, and an excellent track record. The current range includes short-length options for various offsets, but less is known about the performance of these stems. The aim of this study was to compare the survival of short-length stems with standard-length Exeter stems.

December 2024
Northshore University Hospital at Northwell Health, Manhasset, NY, USA.
This report describes a medial calcar episiotomy with partial anterior transfemoral osteotomy of the proximal femur to aid in removal of a femoral component in setting of revision total hip arthroplasty through a direct anterior approach. Revision total hip arthroplasty is challenging, labor-intensive, and carries high complication rates. Previously described techniques such as extended trochanteric osteotomies can be utilized to facilitate removal of fixed femoral stems.

Trauma and Orthopaedics, North Manchester General Hospital, Manchester, GBR.
Introduction: Salvage arthroplasty for failed proximal femoral fracture fixation is a complex procedure. This involves the removal of the primary failed or broken implant followed by a hip joint replacement procedure. The complications and technical difficulties associated with these surgeries are often difficult to anticipate.
