The practice of removing a well-fixed cementless
femoral component is associated with high morbidity. Ceramic bearing
couples are low wearing and their use minimises the risk of subsequent
further revision due to the production of wear debris. A total of
165 revision hip replacements were performed, in which a polyethylene-lined acetabular
component was revised to a new

We present the results of 62 consecutive acetabular
revisions using impaction bone grafting and a cemented polyethylene
acetabular component in 58 patients (13 men and 45 women) after
a mean follow-up of 27 years (25 to 30). All patients were prospectively
followed. The mean age at revision was 59.2 years (23 to 82). . We performed Kaplan–Meier (KM) analysis and also a Competing
Risk (CR) analysis because with long-term follow-up, the presence
of a competing event (i.e. death) prevents the occurrence of the
endpoint of re-revision. . A total of 48 patients (52 hips) had died or had been re-revised
at final review in March 2011. None of the deaths were related to
the surgery. The mean Harris hip score of the ten surviving hips
in ten patients was 76 points (45 to 99). The KM survivorship at 25 years for the endpoint ‘re-revision
for any reason’ was 58.0% (95% confidence interval (CI) 38 to 73)
and for ‘re-revision for aseptic loosening’ 72.1% (95% CI 51 to
85). With the CR analysis we calculated the KM analysis overestimates
the failure rate with respectively 74% and 93% for these endpoints.

We have reviewed 54 patients who had undergone 61 total hip replacements using bulk femoral autografts to augment a congenitally dysplastic acetabulum. There were 52 women and two men with a mean age of 42.4 years (29 to 76) at the time of the index operation. A variety of different prostheses was used: 28 (45.9%) were cemented and 33 (54.1%) uncemented. The graft technique remained unchanged throughout the series. Follow-up was at a mean of 8.3 years (3 to 20). The Hospital for Special Surgery hip score improved from a mean of 10.7 (4 to 18) pre-operatively to a mean of 35 (28 to 38) at follow-up.
