Acetabular Bone Graft in Total Hip Arthroplasty / 대한정형외과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

The effect of acetabular augmentation with bone graft was reviewed in 12 patients with acetabular deficiency in total hip arthroplasty, performed between 1981 and 1984 at Hanyang University Hospital. Follow-up ranged from 12 to 18 months and averaged 23.3 months. Follow-up radiographs were analyzed. Based on radiography, all grafts were regarded as incorporated and equally successful with autogenous and allograft bone. Long-term follow-up evaluation revealed no evidence of progressive radiolucency or graft resorption. There was one sciatic nerve palsy after operation but recovered at 11 months later.
