O2513 ACETABULAR RECONSTRUCTION IN REVISION HIP SURGERY USING FEMORAL HEAD BLOCK ALLOGRAFT AND A CEMENTED COMPONENT WITHOUT THE USE OF A REINFORCEMENT CAGE. A PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF 140 CONSECUTIVE CASES WITH A MEAN TEN-YEAR FOLLOW UP, AND A REVIEW OF THE ALTERNATIVE RECONSTRUCTIVE TECHNIQUES



Abstract

We report the results of a prospective study of 140 consecutive cases of acetabular revision using large frozen femoral head allografts and cemented all polyethylene acetabular components. The mean follow-up time was 10 years (5 Ð 16).

Thirty patients died, seven were lost to follow-up and 26 had failed and undergone further surgery. Nineteen failures were due to aseptic failure and collapse of the graft. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis calculated a mean survival at 10 years of 88.5% for revision for any reason.

We compare all reported techniques of acetabular reconstruction for similar defects and recommend a surgical strategy based on the available evidence, but weighted towards a preference to reconstitute bone stock rather than removing further bone in the revision situation.
