Bone grafting for acetabular protrusion in hip arthroplasty. 27 cases of rheumatoid arthritis followed for 2-8 years.
An acetabular bone graft with spongious bone chips was performed in 27 primary total hip arthroplasties in 23 patients with rheumatic disease. There were no major complications. After 5 (2-8) years, the grafts were well incorporated; after 1 year, remodeling had produced a normal cancellous bone structure. Clinical assessment showed overall good results.
