Abstract
Methods: Between 1993–2002, 86 Wagner stems were implanted in 13 men and 73 women (mean age 66.7y). The indications were: aseptic loosening in 70 patients, Girdlestone in 5, periprosthetic fracture in 8 and stem breakage in 3. The bone loss, according to DGOT was classified as: type I-II: 23, type III:29, type IV-V: 22 and type VI: 12. In 30 patients we used the transfemoral approach, while in 39 a limited femoral osteotomy was performed.
