Extra-Large Uncemented Hemispherical Acetabular Components for Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty: Results at a Mean of 12 Years

Eighty-nine extra-large Harris-Galante uncemented acetabular components were used to revise a failed total hip arthroplasty in 47 men and 42 women (mean age, 59 years; range, 30-83 years). Pre-revision acetabular bone deficiencies were categorized by the AAOS method as segmental in 5%, cavitary in 11%, and combined cavitary and segmental in 84%. Particulate bone graft was used in 54 hips and structural bulk bone graft in 9 hips. Seven patients were lost to follow-up and 20 patients died during the study period; the outcome of the reconstruction in each patient who died was known. For living, unrevised patients, the mean follow-up was 12 years (range, 10-15 years).
