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.
