title: [Reconstruction of femoral defects with particulate bone grafting in revision total hip arthroplasty].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the clinical effect of particulate bone grafting on reconstruction of femoral defects in revision total hip arthroplasty.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifteen patients (20 hips) with femoral defects were treated by revision total hips arthroplasty with particulate bone grafting. After the operations, 14 patients (19 hips) were evaluated by X-rays and the Harris score.
  
  
  RESULTS
  During a follow-up of 43.6 months (11 approximately 65 months), 17 hips (89.5%) were cured, without obvious bone absorption or prosthesis sinking. Harris scores improved from 34.18 pre-operation to 86.6 post-operation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Reconstruction of femoral defects with particulate bone grafting is an effective method for bone defects in revision total hip arthroplasty.
