An attempt to classify the use of autogenous and fresh frozen allogenous bone grafts in uncemented primary and revision total hip replacement using Parhofer-Mönch endoprosthesis is presented. Bone graft type and acceptor site have been analyzed in 102 patients (89 females, 13 males, mean age 51.1 years, range 20-74 years). Idiopathic and dysplastic hip oateoarthrosis constituted majority of diagnoses in this series. In only 4 primary replacements and in all 6 revision replacements frozen allogenous bone grafts were used. The study revealed, that autogenous bone grafts are used most frequently. The roof and bottom of the acetabulum is usual acceptor site. Dysplastic hip osteoarthrosis cases are most demanding in this regard. Revision arthroplasties require great amount of fresh frozen allogenic bone grafts.
