BACKGROUND: Femoral revision using fully coated femoral components offers distinct advantages in patients with notable bone loss. With the increasing concerns being raised about the problems of stem modularity, the results and complications of revision arthroplasty using devices with limited modularity are important. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We therefore asked: (1) What is the frequency of infection, aseptic loosening, and reoperations after use of these components? (2) What is the frequency of intraoperative fracture of the femur when using these components and are there any identifiable factors related to these fractures? (3) What is the 10-year survivorship of these components, and are there any identifiable factors related to survival and rerevision?
