In our theoretical 70-year-old patients, a low-price prosthesis is generally less costly than a high-price one, even with a very low revision rate.
In the short- and intermediate-term these surgeries have been associated with relatively good function and low revision rates.
In summary, we found improved efficiency, high patient satisfaction, and low revision rates together with improved health related quality of life and functionality with the fast track course implemented in a Norwegian university hospital, indicating that fast track is a favorable and feasible method of treatment for both primary and revision THA and TKA patients.
Hospitals with few primary operations have a greater probability of by chance showing extremely high or low revision risks than hospitals with many primary operations.
We found reduced length of stay, a high level of patient satisfaction, and low revision rates, together with improved health related quality of life and functionality, when we introduced fast track into an orthopedic department in a Norwegian university hospital.
In contrast, the Recap cup with the second lowest revision rate at 7 years was used to a lesser extent (Australian Orthopaedic Association 2013).
Hip implants with metal femoral heads with polyethylene cups as articulating surfaces are associated with low rates of revision.
It is associated with low rates of revision of the host bone-graft-acetabular component construct, with low rates of infection, and with high rates of graft incorporation when the graft is appropriately loaded by the construct.
The study has further demonstrated the importance of long-term follow-up, as several of the prostheses with low short-term revision rates did not perform as well with longer follow-up.
Both the Wagner-Cone prosthesis and the CLS stem have been shown to be associated with low long-term revision rates in the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register (SHAR 2010).
