PURPOSE: @entity3564 are the fourth most common cause for hip revision and a devastating complication. Our purpose is to report results and quality of life following revision THA for Vancouver B2 and B3 @entity174 . METHODS: This was a retrospective review from January 2000 to November 2012 to identify all revision THA performed for Vancouver types B2 and B3 that had a minimum follow-up of two  years. Routine post-operative and radiographic evaluation to assess @entity1 survival, implant failure, complications and quality of life was involved. Statistical analysis was made with the Kaplan-Meier survival curve with 95  % confidence interval and the log rank (Mantel-Cox) test. RESULTS: A total of 76 @entity174 were included, with an average follow-up 74.4  months. Mean age at the revision surgery was 75.7  years (range, 41-97 years; SD, 12.4). Sixty-six cases were classified as Vancouver B2 and treated with distal fixation stem. Ten cases were Vancouver B3 and a proximal femoral allograft technique was used. The overall five-year Kaplan-Meier survival rate for the @entity1 was 77.9  % (95  % CI, 67.4-88.4), and the ten-year rate was 65.1  % (95  % CI, 51.4-78.8). Five-year Kaplan-Meier survival rate for the implants was 89.6  % (95  % CI, 82.2-97); we presented seven failures. The mean SF-12 mental was 55.1 (range, 31-68; SD, 8.1) and the physical was 37.4 (range, 16-55; SD, 9.4). CONCLUSION: Mortality rate after @entity3564 is high as compared to other hip surgeries; our Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that it tends to plateau after five  years. In our series the failure rate was low and occurred early in the post-operative period.

Vancouver type B2 and B3 XXXX treated with revision total hip arthroplasty.
