From March 2001 to March 2006, we employed the Profemur R modular stem in 35 cases of femoral component revision (31 first revisions and 4 re-revisions). The reasons for revision surgery included aseptic loosening in 17 cases, periprosthetic femoral fracture in 8 cases, stem fracture in 3 cases, septic loosening in 2 cases and recurrent dislocation in 1 case. According to the Merle d'Aubugne - Postel score clinical results were very good in 11 cases, good in 9 cases, medium in 5 cases, fair in 4 cases and poor in 4 cases. The main complications included 2 intraoperative diaphyseal fractures treated with multiple cerclage wires and 2 early infections treated with debridement and prolonged antibiotic therapy. One fracture healed in association with temporary wound discharge, and the other resulted in non-union with a femoral varus deformity. This required revision with internal fixation (LCP plate) at 3 months, with a successful result. In one case of stem subsidence femoral revision with a larger Profemur R implant was required. In our retrospective study the Profemur R modular stem has been an effective prosthetic system for femoral reconstruction in case of loosening with Paprosky grade III bone loss and following periprosthetic femoral fractures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5301\/hip.2011.6272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,24]],"date-time":"2011-01-24T06:13:34Z","timestamp":1295849614000},"page":"039-042","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Clinical Experience in Femoral Revision with the Modular Profemur R Stem"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Stefano","family":"Artiaco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Institute of Orthopaedic Surgery Regina Maria Adelaide, Turin -
