RESUMO
We report the five- to-ten year results of Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute type-2 bone defects treated with modular metal augments in revision knee surgery. A total of 102 revision knee arthroplasties in patients with type-2 defects treated with augments and stems were prospectively studied. Seven patients (seven knees) had incomplete follow-up and 15 patients (16 knees) died with the arthroplasty in situ. The mean follow-up of the 79 remaining knees was 7 +/- 2 years (5 to 11). The presence of non-progressive radiolucent lines around the augment in 14% of knees was not associated with poorer knee scores, the range of movement, survival of the component or the type of insert which was used (p > 0.05). The survival of the components was 92 +/- 0.03% at 11 years (95% CI, 10.3 to 11.2). We recommend the use of modular augmentation devices to treat type-2 defects in revision knee surgery.

We report 5-year minimum results of cementless over-sized cups used in revision hip arthroplasty, with significant associated bone defects. Forty-three porous-coated jumbo cups were used to treat acetabular defects in revision hip arthroplasty in 42 patients with a mean age of 63 (range, 25-86). Morsellized allograft only was used in 27 hips, and bulk allograft was used in 8 cases. Two patients were lost to follow-up, and 5 died after a mean 7 years' follow-up, with retention of their prostheses. In the remaining 36 cases, the mean follow-up was 10 years (range, 6-14 years). Two acetabular components were revised for aseptic loosening and graft resorption. Two cases were complicated by dislocation. A satisfactory 92% Kaplan Meier shell survival rate was seen at 14 years.

A consecutive series of 222 patients who underwent cemented total knee arthroplasty (124) and uncemented total hip arthroplasty (98) were evaluated prospectively. The purpose of this study was to determine if routine radiologic interpretation of postoperative total hip and total knee radiographs is cost effective. Also, the study was designed to determine if routine predischarge radiographs, in conjunction with recovery room radiographs, are worthwhile. There were no changes in postoperative patient management based on orthopaedic or radiologic review of either radiograph. No additional information was gained from review of the radiologic evaluations. Therefore, obtaining one series of routine inpatient postoperative total joint radiographs and eliminating postoperative radiologic consultation will significantly reduce costs without compromising patient care.
