title: Acetabular revision with impacted morsellised cancellous bone grafting and a cemented cup. A 15- to 20-year follow-up.
abstract: This study presents the clinical and radiological results of 62 consecutive acetabular revisions in 58 patients, at a mean of 16.5 years follow-up (15 to 20). The Kaplan-Meier survivorship for the cup with end-point revisions for any reason, was 79% at 15 years (95% confidence interval (CI); 67 to 91). Excluding two revisions for septic loosening at three and six years, and one revision of a well-fixed cup after 12 years in the course of a femoral revision, the survivorship was 84% at 15 years (95% CI; 73 to 95). At review there were no additional cases of loosening, although seven acetabular reconstructions showed radiolucent lines in one or two zones. Acetabular revision using impacted large morsellised bone chips (0.7 cm to 1.0 cm) and a cemented cup, is a reliable technique of reconstruction, when assessed at more than 15 years.
