Nine-year results of whole femoral head allograft with articular cartilage for acetabular impaction grafting in revision hip replacement

摘要

INTRODUCTIONAcetabular impaction bone grafting with a cemented polyethylene socket aims to reconstitute the bone stock in hip revision. This is an effective but resource intensive and time consuming technique. Usually, the articular cartilage is removed from the femoral head allograft. Our objective was to assess the late results of using the whole femoral head, retaining the cartilage.
