ABSTRACT
Objective—To report revision of cemented total hip arthroplasty failure with cementless components in 3 dogs.
Study Design—Clinical case reports.
Animals—Dogs with total hip arthroplasty failure (n=3).
Methods—Cementless total hip arthroplasty revision was performed in 3 dogs with previously cemented femoral and acetabular components. All dogs required revision of the femoral component and 1 dog also required revision of the acetabular component.
Results—Revisions resulted in a stable functional prosthesis with successful bone integration.
Conclusions—Use of cementless components may be a viable option for revision of loosened cemented prosthesis after explantation of failed cemented canine total hip replacements.
Clinical Relevance—Failed canine-cemented total hip arthroplasties can be successfully revised with cementless components.
