Abstract: BACKGROUND: Revision hip joint is a kind of surgical treatment that causes failure of hip joint replacement for various reasons. Selecting appropriate revision prosthesis and surgical method are the conditions to restore good joint function of patients.  
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect of SLR-PLUS biotype extended rectangular stalk in the revision of femoral prosthesis with aseptic loosening.
METHODS:  Sixteen patients undergoing revision of the hip joint admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2017 to December 2018 were included. The reason for the revision was aseptic loosening of the femoral side prosthesis, including 7 males and 9 females, aged 63-82 years. All patients underwent SLR-PLUS biologic long rectangular handle revision surgery, and imaging assessment and hip function assessment were performed postoperatively. All patients gave informed consent to the treatment plan. The trial was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.  
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) All the 16 patients successfully completed the operation without complications such as hip joint infection, dislocation and deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs. After the operation, all patients’ blood sedimentation and C-reactive protein levels were reduced to normal levels without signs of infection. The patients were followed up for 6-30 months after operation. (2) The imaging examination at 12 weeks after the operation and the last follow-up showed that the prosthesis was in good position; no new transparent belt appeared around the prosthesis; and the femoral prosthesis was well matched with the surrounding bone. (3) Harris score of hip joint function 12 weeks after operation was higher than that before operation in 16 patients (P < 0.05), and the excellent and good rate reached 94%. (4) The results showed that SLR-PLUS biotype extended rectangular handle revision treatment for femoral side prosthesis aseptic loosening of hip joint has good immediate stability and medium-term stability, and the curative effect is satisfactory.
