Morsellized Allograft and Acetabular Reconstruction Cage: Follow – up of 2 to 9 years
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2007, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
We report the outcome of 32 patients who underwent total hip replacement (THR) augmented with morsellized fresh frozen femoral head allografts and acetabular reconstruction cages. Nine patients underwent primary THR and 23 patients underwent revision THR. Follow-up ranged from two to 9 years. Two most common indications for the procedures as reported in literature were rheumatoid arthritis and aseptic loosening of the hip. All but one patient achieved good outcome with radiographs showing full incorporation of bone grafts and no evidence of loosening of the implants. Morsellized bone grafting used with acetabular reinforcement devices is valuable for addressing severe acetabular deficiencies.
