ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: Relatar a capacidade clínica e radiográfica de integração de enxertos ósseos liofilizados bovinos. MÉTODO: Vinte e cinco pacientes foram incluídos. O período médio de acompanhamento foi de oito anos. Os enxertos foram purificados e liofilizados. A análise clínica baseou-se no escore de Merle d'Aubigné e Postel, e critérios de pontuação estabelecidos para a osteointegração radiográfica foram usados para as análises radiográficas. RESULTADOS: Bons resultados clínicos e radiográficos foram observados em 80 por cento e 72 por cento dos casos, respectivamente. CONCLUSÃO: Enxertos liofilizados bovinos podem ser usados com segurança e adequadamente na revisão acetabular da artroplastia total de quadril.
OBJECTIVE: To report clinical and radiographic graft incorporation capability of bovine freeze-dried bone grafts. METHODS: Twenty five patients were enrolled. The mean follow-up was eight years. Grafts were purified and freeze-dried. Clinical analysis was based on the score of Merle d'Aubigné and Postel and an established score criteria for radiographic bone incorporation was used for radiographic analyses. RESULTS: Good clinical and radiographic results were found in 80 percent and 72 percent of the cases, respectively. CONCLUSION: Bovine freeze-dried grafts can be safely and adequately used in acetabular revision in total hip arthroplasty.
