Use of structural bone graft with cementless acetabular cups in total hip arthroplasty.
We retrospectively studied 15 primary and 13 revision total hip arthroplasties in which structural acetabular bone grafts were used in conjunction with cementless acetabular cups (for 11 type I segmental acetabular defects and 17 type III combined segmental/cavitary acetabular defects). Mean follow-up was 7.7 years in the primary and 6.8 years in the revision group. Radiographic analysis was performed to assess graft incorporation, component migration, bone-implant radiolucencies, and polyethylene wear. Two acetabular components (7.1%) were radiographically loose and demonstrated component migration. One of the two patients with these components also showed evidence of eccentric polyethylene wear. Three patients (10.7%) exhibited eccentric polyethylene wear. All grafts were well-incorporated radiographically without evidence of resorption. Modified Harris hip scores for all patients improved postoperatively.
