摘要
Cemented titanium stems in hip arthroplasty are associated with proximal cement-stem debonding and early failure. This was well publicised with the 3M Capital hip. However, corrosion in this setting has been reported with only one stem design and is less widely accepted. We present a series of 12 cemented titanium Furlong Straight Stems which required revision at a mean of 78 months for thigh pain. At revision the stems were severely corroded in a pattern which was typical of crevice corrosion. Symptoms were eliminated after revision to an all-stainless steel femoral prosthesis of the same design. We discuss the likely causes for the corrosion. The combination of a titanium stem and cement appears to facilitate crevice corrosion.
