We report the results of 24 acetabular reconstructions in which cemented polyethylene cups and tamped corticocancellous allografts were used for severe acetabular bone deficiency. Eleven hips had type-II (cavitary) bone deficiency and 13 had type-III (combined) defects. At a mean follow-up of 5.8 years, two components had migrated more than 5 mm and had accompanying radiolucent zones of more than 2 mm width. A radiolucency 5 mm wide was also seen in zone III of an acetabular implant which had not migrated. None of the patients had required revision because of loosening or infection.
