[Use of bone grafts in acetabular wall deficit reconstruction during total hip replacement]

Results of cemented and noncemented total hip replacement with the use of bone grafts are presented. Forty-nine hips in 43 patients were operated. Mean age of the patient at the operation was 53 years (range 38-64). The follow-up ranged from 2 to 4 years. It has been concluded, that acetabular bottom and wall deficits should be filled with bone grafts, preferably corticocancellous ones.
