Results of Cementless Revisions of Total Hip Arthroplasties Using the Harris-Galante Prosthesis

Sixty patients treated with Harris-Galante prosthesis for failed, nonseptic, cemented total hip arthroplasties with good or excellent results have been treated.

Abstract

Sixty patients were treated with Harris-Galante prosthesis for failed, nonseptic, cemented total hip arthroplasties. The minimum follow-up period was 12 months, although 23 patients were followed for two or more years. Acetabular bone grafting was done in 86% and femoral bone grafting in 57% of the patients. The average postoperative hip score was 84 (range, 48-100). Seventy-one percent of the patients were rated good or excellent. Among those with a minimum two-year follow-up examination, 73% had good or excellent results. Ninety-six percent had no, slight, or only mild pain. None of the components has required revision. No pads have become loose or displaced and no sepsis has occurred. One femoral component has subsided, but the patient is asymptomatic. No socket has migrated. The results are excellent for this group of patients.
