title: Bone-graft augmentation for acetabular deficiencies in total hip arthroplasty. Results of long-term follow-up evaluation.
abstract: The results of 102 consecutive primary and revision total hip arthroplasties performed with bone-grafting for acetabular bone deficiencies were reviewed at an average of 10.2 years (range, 4-18.6) after surgery. Ninety-one percent had structural bone defects and 57% had underlying developmental dysplasia of the hip. Overall acetabular revision rates for aseptic loosening were 8% at 5 years and 26% at 10 years. In addition, in the patients with developmental dysplasia who had primary hip arthroplasties, acetabular revision rates for aseptic loosening were 3 and 18% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Ninety-six percent of all uninfected grafts incorporated. Bulk grafts fared better than particulate grafts. No difference in failure rate was noted between primary and revision hip arthroplasty, type of deficiency, or amount of graft coverage. Although early results are encouraging, acetabular failure increased significantly with longer follow-up evaluation; however, graft incorporation was successful and facilitated subsequent revision surgery.
