Conclusion
X-ray postoperative, February 2021
X-ray postoperative (lateral), February 2021
- In this case, the LINK revision portfolio enabled a secure, cementless restoration of the complex revision case.
- The MP Reconstruction System allowed the defect zone in the proximal femur to be safely bridged. Even in a rather short femoral segment, the cementless MP provided secure support without sintering of the stem. Due to the modularity in the area of the neck segment, the length could be individually adjusted.
- The large defect in the area of the acetabular rim was covered with an augment. This created optimum stability. Thus, a "normal" press-fit cup could be implanted.
- Despite the extensive defect zones, a stable and safe revision THA was successfully be implanted with the LINK Hip Revision Systems.
