[Mid-Term to Long-Term Results of Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty Using the Oval-Shaped Acetabular Cup - TC Type].

CONCLUSIONS The oval-shaped uncemented cup - type TC meets the requirements placed on a state-of the art revision implant, moreover its specific construction helps improve the conditions where another re-operation of acetabulum is necessary. By evaluating mid-term to long-term results of non-homogenous group of 36 patients (38 cups) we have obtained data on joint function comparable to similar groups with revision uncemented implants presented in our and foreign literature. Key words: revision oval-shaped cup, bone remodelling, pull-out tests, angular stable screws, computed tomography. PMID: 28933329 [PubMed - in process]
