The authors present the results of 57 revisions in 54 patients performed for aseptic loosening of cemented total hip arthroplasties. The Charnley technique and implants were used in all cases. The mean follow-up was 8 years and 6 months with a minimum of 5 years. The failure rate for the femoral component was 15% and for the acetabular component it was 19.1%. The cumulative success rate at 8 years was 81.7% for the femoral component and 83.4% for the acetabular component.
The Charnley technique and implants were found efficient for revision of cemented total hip arthroplasties in the long term, but there are limitations to their use in the presence of severely compromised bone stock.
