Abstract
We report a long-term review of 60 acetabular components revised using impacted, morsellised bone allografts and a cemented polyethylene cup. The acetabular defects were cavitary (37) or combined (23). Follow-up was for a mean 11.8 years (10 to 15).
Further revision was needed in five hips, two for septic and three for aseptic loosening. The overall survival rate at 11.8 years was 90%; excluding the septic cases it was 94%.
Acetabular reconstruction with impacted morsellised cancellous grafts and cement gives satisfactory long-term results.
