Unilateral cemented hip hemiarthroplasty was done on 16 dogs who subsequently had revision arthroplasty and who were divided into 1 control and 3 experimental groups: The first group had cement extraction using osteotomes; the second, using a high speed burr; the third, an ultrasonic tool. Hemodynamic and transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring were done. Postmortem pulmonary specimens were examined for differences in the quantity of fat emboli. There was a significant increase in emboli with the ultrasonic tool as compared with osteotomes and high speed burr. There was no significant difference in emboli between the osteotomes and high speed burr. Fat emboli syndrome is related to mechanical compression of the femoral canal. The ultrasonic instrument was unique in its tendency to cause large embolic showers, especially during extraction of the distal cement plug. In these young dogs, minimal hemodynamic changes and no cardiac dysrhythmias occurred, which in part may be attributed to their good health. These changes may remain subclinical for patients with good cardiorespiratory reserve, or may become life threatening for those with poor reserve. By outlining the mechanisms of fat embolism in revision total hip arthroplasty, it may be possible to decrease future morbidity, especially in patients who frequently have cardiopulmonary disease.
