Research summary
Since its popularisation in the 1960's, hip replacements have become one of the NHS's highest volume procedures. Unfortunately, hip replacements can fail, with an average of 8500 revision hip replacements being performed each year, pre covid. Often this is very complex, with the destruction of the normal anatomy, leaving the surgeon with a significant challenge in ensuring there is appropriate positioning of the socket within the confines of the patient's anatomy.
The Lima Corporate Delta systems are designed to help surgeons with this very problem , by providing the option of a "face changer", allowing surgeons to place a socket within a socket.
To allow for this function, the "face changer" must connect with the acetabular cup (socket).
140 patients have been identified as having this modular acetabular system implanted at the RJAH in 2012 & 2013. The aim of this study is to therefore identify the survivourship of these implants at a minimum of 10 years, to see if there is any association between the number of articulations and implant failure by a one time clinic visit and x-ray.REC name
