title: Total hip replacement with a superolateral bone graft for osteoarthritis secondary to dysplasia: a long-term follow-up.
abstract: We evaluated the long-term results of 116 total hip replacements with a superolateral shelfplasty in 102 patients with osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip. After a mean follow-up of 19.5 years (11.5 to 26.0), 14 acetabular components (12%) had been revised. The cumulative survival at 20 years was 78%, with revision for loosening of the acetabular component as the end-point. All grafts were well integrated and showed remodelling. In six grafts some resorption had occurred under the heads of the screws where the graft was not supporting the socket. Apart from these 14 revisions, seven acetabular components had possible radiological signs of loosening at a mean follow-up of 14.5 years, one had signs of probable loosening, and five had signs of definite loosening. These results indicate that this technique of bone grafting for acetabular reconstruction in hip dysplasia is a durable solution for cemented acetabular components.
