Abstract

Removal of the femoral bone cement in revision total hip arthroplasty with a high-powered drill or burr potentially has a risk of damage to the bone, resulting in perforation and fracture of the femur. Recently, we have used a computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation system for the revision of cemented total hip arthroplasty with a high-powered burr and completely removed the distal femoral bone cement with no complications in 6 cases. Thus, a computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation system is a useful tool for the improvement of the surgical technique in revision total hip arthroplasty.
