Introduction

Dual modular femoral stems for total hip arthroplasty were initially introduced to optimize joint biomechanics. These implants have been recalled due to fretting and crevice corrosion at the stem-neck interface, ultimately necessitating revision in a significant number of patients. At our institution we had experience with the Rejuvenate (Stryker, Mahwah, NJ) dual modular stem from 2009 until 2011 before it's recall in 2012. This study identifies complications encountered in patients requiring revision of this prosthesis.

Methods

We retrospectively identified all patients who had one particular dual modular stem using our registry database. All patients’ charts and imaging was reviewed using our electronic medical records and digital imaging programs. Patients’ age, gender, revision date, intraoperative and postoperative complications, need for subsequent surgery were identified.

INTRODUCTION

Corrosion of modular tapers is increasingly recognized as a source of adverse tissue reaction (ALTR) and revision surgery in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The incidence of corrosion and rate of revision for ALTR may differ among different types of implants.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to determine if a difference exists in rate of THA revision for corrosion and ALTR with tapered broach only stems compared to ream-broach femoral stems.
