Components removed during revision hip procedures

Data to 31/12/2018

Both the acetabular and femoral components were removed in 42% of all revision procedures. However, comparison of the different types of revision procedures indicates that both components were more likely to be removed during stage one of a two-stage revision process (81%) than during a single-stage revision (40%). This is to be expected since the majority of two-stage revisions are carried out for reasons of infection when all components are routinely removed.

Data to 31/12/2017

Both the acetabular and femoral components were removed in 45% of all revision procedures. However, comparison of the different types of revision procedures indicates that both components were more likely to be removed during a two-stage revision process than during a single-stage revision. This is to be expected since the majority of two-stage revisions are carried out for reasons of infection when all components are routinely removed.

Both the acetabular and femoral components were removed in 46% of all revision procedures. However, comparison of the different types of revision procedures indicates that both components were more likely to be removed during a two-stage revision process than during a single-stage revision. This is to be expected since the majority of two-stage revisions are carried out for reasons of infection when all components are routinely removed.

NB: some figures in 2005 may not add up to the total number of procedures as not all fields were mandatory in MDSv2, the dataset in use at that time.
