KEY FACTS

  • Terminology

    • Imaging

      • Diagnostic Checklist

        TERMINOLOGY

        • Definitions

          • Revision arthroplasty: placement of new component(s) following removal of failed prosthesis/component
            • Wide spectrum of revision
              • Small changes may not be obvious
                • Exchange of polyethylene component
                • Change of femoral head (modular; may be changed without extracting stem)
              • Larger changes of entire components
            • Some revisions have implications related to substantial bone loss: large defects to fill, little bone to support implant
              • Loose components may fracture and erode large regions of bone
              • Infection may destroy bone
              • Small particle disease with massive osteolysis leaves bone defects
            • Imaging evaluation required both pre- and postoperatively
              • Preoperative: evaluation of bone stock for surgical planning
              • Postoperative: evaluation for complications
          • Arthroplasty = name for procedure (surgery), not for device (prosthesis/implant)
