Noncemented acetabular revision and bone grafts.
In a retrospective study 14 acetabular components, implanted as part of a revision total hip arthroplasty, are radiographically analyzed. Major loss of bone was present in all cases. A bone augmentation technique is described in which a hemispherical porous coated cup was used without additional fixation together with morcelized bone grafts. No failure was noted and radiographic evidence of cup stability was noted in all cases.
