SURGICAL TECHNICS AND DESIGN OF REVISION HIP COMPONENTS IMPLANTATION IN LARGE DEFECTS OF FEMUR
We performed a review of national and foreign literature, dedicated to the problem of the right choice and type of implantation of femur component in revision hip arthroplasty with large defects of proximal part of femur. The number of revision hip arthroplasty grows rapidly nowadays. It is connected with the increasing number of operations of primary hip arthroplasty. It is hard to decide what implant should be used in case of vast defects of proximal part of the femur. The choice of an implant depends on various factors: reason for the revision, infectious process in the area ofhip joint, activity of a patient, his/her age and BMI, surgeon`s experience and finally the rate of defect of proximal part of femur.
