title: Impacted corticocancellous allografts and cement for revision of the femur component in total hip arthroplasty.
abstract: Revision of the femur component in total hip arthroplasty using impacted morcellized bone allografts and cemented Lubinus SP-II prosthesis or Charnley standard prosthesis was performed in patients with loss of bone stock grade II through IV according to the Endo-Klinik classification from 1st to 8th revision. We report the results from 57 hips in 56 patients, with a median of 64 months' follow-up. Modified Merle d'Aubigne-Postel postoperative scores increased significantly from preoperative to postoperative values for the Lubinus group and for the Charnley group. Few complications were seen in this follow-up period. Five stems had minor subsidence. Rate of mechanical failure was 4% for both groups. Radiologic examinations provided evidence of frequent trabecular remodeling of the graft, especially for the Lubinus prosthesis.
