Introduction:
Severe acetabular bone defects can pose challenges in revision total hip replacement. The use of structural allografts and various sizes of grain allografts has been proposed as an alternative surgical technique for treating Paprosky type 3 acetabular defects. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and potential complications associated with this approach.
Methods:
A retrospective review was performed on 102 hip reconstructions in patients with major acetabular bone loss, including 81 cases of type 3A and 21 cases of type 3B according to Paprosky's classification. Surgical procedures involved the use of structural allografts and various sizes of grain allografts in both reinforcement ring group and cementless cups group.
Results:
At a mean follow-up of 82.75 months, 76% of hips had no complications, while The others experienced pain changes in the cup position, post-operative dislocations, and infections. The mean pre-operative Modified Harris Hip Score improved in both groups at the last follow-up.
Conclusion:
The use of structural allografts and various sizes of grain allografts for treating type 3 acetabular defects in revision total hip replacement showed promising long-term outcomes and a low rate of complications.
