RECOVERY AND FUNCTIONALITY

CONCLUSION

REFERENCES

Nieder et al.12 found a 20% rate of deep infection in the 76 cases that he performed for failed arthroplasty (not tumors) with the Mark I model.

ª They saw upward migration in ALL cases although the migration soon stabilized and was referred to as 'bedding in'

ª Sclerosis at interface is common, and that if no sclerosis is noted then there is usually greater migration

ª Deep infection caused significant migration

ª Heterotopic bone around prosthesis is common and may or may not be of clinical significance1,3,6,11

Cephalad Migration

 

Notice the cephalad migration and heterotopic bone formation over a 4-year period in this patient12

 

 

 

 

 

Same patient as above. Close-up view12.

 

 

 

 

 

Another example of migration with the Mark I model over the course of a few years12.
