Abstract
Digital and manual subtraction images obtained during the arthrographic evaluation of 78 painful hip prostheses were reviewed retrospectively. Revision arthroplasty was performed in 53 of these cases, and the arthrographic and surgical findings were correlated. The digital and manual subtraction images were evaluated without knowledge of the surgical results using established criteria for component loosening. The difference between detection of femoral component loosening on digital as opposed to manual subtraction images was statistically significant (P < 0.05). This study demonstrates that digital subtraction improves the evaluation of femoral component loosening in painful hip prostheses. (orig./GDG).
