Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty using Allogenic Impaction Bone Grafts and Cemented Cup in Acetabular Bone Deficiency: Minimum Seven Years Clinical and Radiological Analysis

PURPOSE: This study examined the minimum seven years clinical and radiological results of revision total hip arthroplasty using an allogenic impaction bone graft and a cemented cup in an acetabular bone deficiency. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty two revision total hip arthroplasty procedures performed on forty nine patients between March 1992 and June 1998 and followed for more than minimum seven years were examined. The clinical and radiological results were evaluated by Harris hip score and roentgenography including anterior-posterior view of pelvis and lateral view of operated hip. RESULTS: The mean Harris hip score was 47 points preoperatively, 81 points at three years after revision, and 84 points at seven years. The radiological evaluation revealed osseous union that trabeculated between grafted bone and host bone within four months in 47 hips, a complete grafted bone-cement radiolucent line of two millimeters or more in at least one zone in 5 hips at two years and in 7 hips at the seven year follow-up. CONCLUSION: We recommend the technique using an allogenic impaction bone graft and cemented cup to reconstruct an acetabular cavitary defect in revision total hip arthroplasty.

Morsellized Allograft and Acetabular Reconstruction Cage: Follow up of 2 to 9 years

We report the outcome of 32 patients who underwent total hip replacement (THR) augmented with morsellized fresh frozen femoral head allografts and acetabular reconstruction cages. Nine patients underwent primary THR and 23 patients underwent revision THR. Follow up ranged from two to 9 years. Two most common indications for the procedures as reported in literature were rheumatoid arthritis and aseptic loosening of the hip. All but one patient achieved good outcome with radiographs showing full incorporatio

Revision total hip arthroplasty using acetabular reinforcement device with grafting for the massive bone defects / 中国矫形外科杂志

[Objective]To introduce the technology of bone grafting with acetabular reinforcement device for the massive bone defects in the revision total hip arthroplasty.[Method]The massive acetabular bone defects were reconstructed in 8 cases from 2002 and 2007.The defects were classified according to the system of D'Antonio,ⅡB defects in 1 case,ⅡC defects in 2 cases,and Ⅲ defects in 5 cases.Methods:the reinforcement device with the morsellised impaction bone grafting in 3 cases,the reinforcement device with the morsellised impaction bone grafting and the structural autograft in 5 cases.Clinical and radiological evaluations were conducted for each patient.[Result]The follow-up duration averaged to 2.7 years,the Harris score were inoreased by 35 points in average.No hip required further revision of the acetabular component because of aseptic loosening.[Conclusion]The cavitary bone loss could be reconstructed by the bone-impaction grafting;the segmental bone loss could be reconstructed by the structural autograft.The acetabular reinforcement device can fix the grafted bone and support the cup.The massive periacetabular bone loss could be effectively reconstructed by reinforcement device with bone grafting.

Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty using Morselized Femoral Head Allograft and Cementless Cup in Acetabular Bone Deficiency / 대한정형외과학회잡지

PURPOSE: This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiologic results of revision total hip arthroplasty using a cementless cup and a morselized femoral head allograft in acetabular bone deficiency. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 1992 to December 1999, the authors performed 37 revision total hip arthroplasties using morselized femoral head allografts and cementless cup. This study evaluated the clinical and radiologic results, at a mean follow-up of 50 months. We evaluated the Harris hip score clinically, and the displacement of acetabular cup by Yoder's criteria. Location and progression of radiolucent area within acetabular zone, which was defined by DeLee and Charnley was observed and recorded. RESULTS: Mean Harris hip score was improved from 50.6 preoperative to 89.2 at final follow-up. A radiolucent zone between host bone and graft bone was observed in 5 cases, and between graft bone and cup in 7 cases, but all of these were less than 2 mm. The change of cup angle more than 4 degrees were observed in 3 cases in Gross type 4, 4 mm superior migration of acetabular cup was observed in 1 case in Gross type 3 and 5 mm horizontal migration was observed in 1 case in Gross type 4. CONCLUSION: Although the early results in revision total hip arthroplasty have been encouraging to date except for Gross type 4, a more long term follow-up study with a larger size cases are needed.

Revision of total Hip Arthroplasty Using Allogenic Bone Graft in Acetabular Deficiency / 대한정형외과학회잡지

Patients with severe acetabular bony deficiency in total hip revision arthroplasties need the use of autogenous or allogenic bone grafts. The Authors performed 28 cases of total hip revision arthroplasties between June 1991 and January 1995 with femoral head allograft for acetabular bony deficiencies and evaluated the clinical and radiological results according to AAOS classification. The clinical result was evaluated by D'Aubigne and Postel score. The mean score was improved from 3.9 points to 5.1 points at follow-up. In radiological evaluation, osseous union of graft was achieved within 12 month and rerevision were performed in two cases (92.8% survival rates) but radiological radiolucent line in at least one zone was seen in five hips in two year follow up. In conclusion, the results of hemispherical microporocoat cup with allogenic bone in segmental or cavitary defect using with acetabular reinforcement ring in combined deficiency were encouraging to date. Success rate of allograft reconsruction of the acetabulum results from a variety of acetabular defect. In our studies, only 40% showed stable bony fixation over short period.
