Thirty-seven patients with extensive acetabular defects due to loose implants had revisions with uncemented components, the acetabulum being augmented with homograft bone. In six of these, a histological study of graft incorporation was made. At a mean follow-up of 1.5 years 34 patients were free of pain and 35 could walk for 30 minutes or longer. No graft had obviously sequestrated. Two components had radiological evidence of migration but remain asymptomatic. We conclude that cementless revision surgery with homograft supplementation of the acetabulum is clinically successful in the short-term. The long-term outcome is unknown.

Sixty-four patellar fractures treated either by internal fixation or by patellectomy were reviewed retrospectively from 3.5 to 10.1 years (average 6.2 years) after operation. Results were assessed subjectively and objectively. Of the 64 patients, 45% had a good result, 27% fair and 28% poor. On the whole, patellectomy produced better results (60% good, 20% fair, 20% poor), than internal fixation (31% good, 33% fair, 36% poor). Nevertheless, the best results of all were achieved by precise anatomical reduction of the patellar fracture and fixation with K-wires and a tension band. Where this could not be achieved, however, patellectomy gave the best results.

Five cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia successfully treated by a free vascularised fibular graft are described. Follow-up ranged from 5 to 34 months with a mean of 17.5 months. The technique, which includes radical excision of abnormal bone and soft tissue around the pseudarthrosis, also permits primary bone lengthening, and correction of deformity. The early results indicate that satisfactory bony union is achieved in a relatively short period of time.

Entrapment of the superficial peroneal nerve is an unusual cause of pain in the ankle and foot. In such cases decompression of the nerve at the point of exit from the deep fascia will produce a good result. Three cases are described.
