Long-term results of acetabular reconstruction using three bulk bone graft techniques in cemented total hip arthroplasty for developmental dysplasia
Oe, K., Iida, H., Kawamura, H. et al.Hip
Purpose
The aims of this retrospective study were to firstly introduce three practical bulk bone graft techniques based on acetabular morphology for dysplasia and secondly evaluate the long-term durability of acetabular reconstruction using those techniques combined with cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods
The study comprised 101 consecutive THAs with a minimum follow-up of ten years; these procedures were categorised as being L shape (n = 58), Wall (n = 33) and D shape (n = 10) types.
Results
At the last follow-up, all bone grafts acquired trabecular reorientation, and no evidence of revision for aseptic or radiological loosening was noted.
Conclusions
These bone graft techniques will be effective for improving the management of dysplasia in cemented THA by providing both acetabular reconstruction and cement containment.
