Anterolateral acetabular bone deficiency is one of the problems associated with total hip arthroplasty in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hips. We studied the integration of the acetabular reconstruction (cemented socket) in a bulk femoral head autograft. Between 1995 and 2003, we compared 10 patients with a second group who were treated by means of uncemented acetabular components. All the patients had complained of moderate to severe pain.

The techniques for the two procedures, cemented and uncemented, were comparable. Out of the 10 cemented procedures, one failed. In the uncemented cup procedure, one also failed after surgery. The results were comparable with published figures and encourage us to continue using the cemented procedure.
