Introduction

Reinforcement ring with allograft bone is commonly used for acetabular reconstruction of bone defects because it can achieve stable initial fixation of the prosthesis. It is not clear whether the allograft bone can function as a viable host bone and provide long-standing structural support. The purpose of this study was to assess to long-term survival of the reinforcement rings and allograft bone incorporation after acetabular revisions.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 39 hips (37 patients) who underwent reconstruction of the acetabulum with a Ganz reinforcement ring and allograft bone in revision total hip arthroplasty. There were 18 females and 19 males with a mean age of 55.9 years (35–74 years). The minimum postoperative follow-up period was 10 years (10∼17 years). We assessed the acetabular bone defect using the Paprosky's classification. We determined the rates of loosening of the acetabular reconstructions, time to aseptic loosening, integration of the allograft bone, resorption of the allograft bone, and survival rate. Aseptic loosening of the acetabular component was defined as a change in the cup migration of more than 5 mm or a change in the inclination angle of more than 5° or breakage of the acetabular component at the time of the follow-up. Graft integration was defined as trabecular remodelling crossing the graft-host interface. Resorption of the allograft bone was classified as minor (<1/3), moderate (1/3–1/2) or severe (>1/2). Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was performed for aseptic loosening of the acetabular component.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the complications related to the prosthesis design in patients managed with cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with the anterior-posterior glide (APG) mobile bearing prosthesis.

Materials and Methods

One hundred eighty three total knee arthroplasties were performed using APG Low Contact Stress mobile bearing prosthesis (Depuy, Warsaw, IN) on 146 patients with an average of 8.4 years follow-up (range, 7 to 10 years). Patients were evaluated clinically and radiologically according to the American Knee Society clinical scoring system. The anteroposterior translation, anterior soft tissue impingements, and complications were assessed at the follow-up periods.
