Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the Exeter cemented stem used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) over a 15-year period to analyze its modes of failure and evaluate clinical outcomes.
- It includes a systematic review of ten studies covering 2,167 hips, finding a low overall revision rate of 3.8% with even lower rates for specific issues like aseptic loosening (0.22%) and periprosthetic fractures (0.6%).
- The results suggest that the Exeter stem demonstrates long-term reliability and durability, with consistent radiological outcomes indicating effective load transmission and minimal complications.
