Abstract
Extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) is a technique to remove well-fixed femoral stems in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). ETO is commonly utilized in the setting of chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). This article presents a systematic review concerning outcomes after ETO in the setting of PJI.
Highlights
As the incidence of total hip arthroplasty (THA) continues to rise, demand for revision THA is increasing [1,2,3,4]
Abstracts that evaluated the outcomes after extended troch anteric osteotomy (ETO) in patients under going revision hip replacement for chronic peri-prosthetic joint infection were reviewed according to inclusion criteria
The six studies reported on a total of 285 Extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) performed during revision THA for periprosthetic joint infection
Summary
As the incidence of total hip arthroplasty (THA) continues to rise, demand for revision THA is increasing [1,2,3,4]. Instability, aseptic loosening, and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are the most common indications for revision hip replacement [2,5]. Extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) has been popularized as a technique to safely and efficiently remove femoral implants in revision hip arthroplasty [9]. Extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) is a technique to remove well-fixed femoral stems in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). ETO is commonly utilized in the setting of chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). This article presents a systematic review concerning outcomes after ETO in the setting of PJI
