The authors report the preliminary results they obtained using the Wagner technique for revision of the prosthetic stem by transfemoral access. Between January 1992 and June 1993 a total of 20 patients were treated by reimplantation of the prosthetic stem according to the Wagner technique. At minimum 12-month follow-up, based on the Harris Score System, results were excellent, good and fair in 16 cases. Results were not satisfactory in 4 cases after sinking of the prosthesis exceeding 2 cm or due to mid-distal pain with loading.
