Abstract.

We followed 39 patients with 40 revision hip arthroplasties using the Wagner stem. Mean follow-up was 65 (29–108) months. There were 12 intraoperative proximal femoral fractures, which all united, five postoperative dislocations not related to subsidence, and two loose stems that were revised. Clinical improvement was best for pain. Once the stem was osteointegrated the clinical and radiological result remained stable for up to 9 years.
