2010 High long-term survival of bulk femoral head autograft for acetabular reconstruction in cementless THA for developmental hip dysplasia CORR Open Access

Description: Conclusions Cementless THA combined with autologous femoral bone graft in patients with developmental dysplasia resulted in a high rate of survival. Structural bone grafting achieved a stable construct until osseointegration occurred. We believe the radiodense bands represent a radiographic sign of successful completion of repair of the deficient acetabulum. Congruous and stable contact of the cancellous portion of the graft to the host bed by impaction and use of improved porous cementless sockets may be associated with successful socket survival.
