Abstract

The burden of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is rising. As increasingly younger patients are treated with THA procedures, it is likely that this trend will continue. The results of revision THA are greatly influenced by the quantity and the quality of available femoral bone stock available for reconstruction. Modular and nonmodular tapered fluted titanium stems are increasingly used in revision THA. It is helpful to be familiar with the use of these components in revision THA.
