Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the results of using focus clearance and morselized bone graft to treat a well-fixed socket osteolysis after total hip arthroplasty (THA) during cementless acetabular revisions.Methods From March 2006 to March 2009, 23 patients (23 hips) who had an acetabular revision hip arthroplasty of well-fixed socket for osteolysis were retrospectively reviewed, including 13 males and 10 females with an average age of 46.6 years (range, 39-54), and the mean interval from primary to revision THA was 5.5 years (range, 4.6-7.4). The preoperative Harris hip score was 74. The operative technique included debridement of soft tissues with removal of granulomata and packed tightly with morselized cancellous allograft through ilioinguinal approach, and exchanging the liner and femoral head through the posterior-lateral approach of the hip. Results The mean duration of follow-up after revision was 28 months (range, 8-38). At final follow-up, all hip were functioning well and the average Harris hip score was 93.8. Osteogenesis in bone graft were well-developed in 16 patients. Twelve bone grafts were completely incorporated into surrounding bone through creeping substitution. All acetabular components remain radiographically well-fixed and no loosening and shifting. There were no new osteolytic lesions, ectopic ossification, deep venous thrombosis, hip dislocation or infection during follow-up. Conclusion Our revision strategies included debridement and bone grafting, a revision of femoral heads and polyethylene liner and retention of the cups and femoral stems. The method can reduce the amount of the wear particle from polyethylene. The short-term outcome is excellent.
