Introduction

We present the outcome of 297 acetabular revisions using bone grafting and cemented acetabular components in 297 patients, with a mean follow-up of 8 years 3 months (5–20 years).

Methods

All patients underwent acetabular revision with allograft bone grafting and insertion of cemented acetabular components. Of the 297 patients, 134 patients (45%) were male and 163 (55%) were female. The mean age of undergoing revision surgery with bone grafting was 60 years (25–87 years). The mean weight at revision surgery was 71.9 kg (40–128 kg). Post-operatively, all patients were reviewed regularly in out-patients, where they were examined clinically for any complications and their radiographs were examined for evidence of graft union, radiological lucency and cup migration.
