We report the results of Kent hip revision arthroplasties performed in 5 patients with fractures of the femur associated with femoral loosening following total hip arthroplasty. The fractures occurred at an average of 40.4 months following the primary hip arthroplasty. The system of Merle D'Aubigné and Postel, as modified by Charnley, was used for the clinical evaluation. One to four years (mean, 2.6 years) after the revision operation, the clinical and radiographic results were satisfactory. With the help of the transfixion screws the Kent Hip prosthesis provides stable fixation and facilitates early mobilization, with its attendant advantages.

Kallikrein Activity

SummaryThe behaviour of the contact system was studied in 40 patients with total hip arthroplasty, by measuring plasma prekallikrein, spontaneous kallikrein activity and factor XII. In the literature it had been shown that patients with complications from this operation had decreased prekallikrein and increased kallikrein activity (M. Nakahara. Acta orthop scand 1982; 53: 591-6). In the present study, comprising patients with and without pain and proven loosening of the hip prosthesis, these findings could only partially be confirmed. Patients with a loosened prosthesis had significantly lower prekallikrein (mean 0.78 ± 0.28 U/ml; p <0.01) than patients without problems, but no detectable kallikrein activity in plasma. Patients with pain but no loosening had normal prekallikrein (1.04 ±0 0.26 U/ml) and also no demonstrable kallikrein activity. Factor XII was normal in all patient groups. It is concluded that decreased prekallikrein is limited to patients with a loosened hip prosthesis, with or without pain.
