Allograft reconstruction has become an essential tool for restoration of acetabular bone stock lost in failed total hip arthroplasty or resected in tumor reconstruction. This first segment of a two-part review will discuss the current status of allograft applications, together with pertinent biologic and biochemical aspects. Part II will address surgical considerations and recent clinical experience.
