title: [Radiological evaluation of integration of bone grafts and bone substitutes after implantation to replace acetabular substance losses in reoperation of total hip prosthesis].
abstract: Plain radiograms are insufficient to evaluate the integrity of a graft used to replace acetabular tissue loss in reoperations for total hip replacement. The aim of this work was to compare radiographic, computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings. Two groups of patients including 12 hip joints in each were evaluated 5 years after undergoing reoperation for annular support. Allografts (5 cases) or xenografts (7 cases) were used in one group. Plain radiograms. CT-scan and MRI were performed in each patient. The graft-receiver bone borders were visible on the CT-scans but were not distinguishable on the radiograms. Bone and graft density and structure in contact with the implant could be determined on the CT-scan. MRI was difficult to interpret in most cases due to implant-induced artefacts and is not recommended in this type of reconstruction.
