Objective To describe the surgical technique for treatment of old traumatic posterior acetabular defects. Methods From March 1990 to March 1998, 6 patients were treated with a full thickness iliac crest autograft to reconstruct their posterior acetabular defects. There were 4 males and 2 females, the average age of the patients was 32 years. The acetabular defects were caused by traffic accident and delayed in treatment for 3 to 11 months. Results The duration of follow up was 2－ 10 years， the function of the hip joints were good in all of the patients, according to the criterion of d Aubigne six points. X－ ray film revealed that although the femoral head was not in exact congruence with reconstructed acetabulum, yet there was no dislocation. Slight degeneration was found in 3 cases. Conclusion Although this procedure did not exactly reproduce the anatomy of the hip joint, it restored the posterior stability, provided bone stock for the hip joints and prevented dislocation of the femoral head. So this procedure is useful for late total hip arthroplasty.

Objective To review the clinical results of cemented and uncemented revision total hip arthroplasty(RTHA). Methods The diagnoses included aseptic loosening of the femoral components in 23 cases, fractures around the tip of loosened femoral components in 3 cases. Of 26 cases, 10 cases(10 hips)underwent RTHA by the use of the second generation cementing techniques, 16 cases(16 hips)underwent uncemented RTHA with a long stem porous coated femoral component assisted with autografting. Results At an average of 6 years of follow- up for cemented RTHA, clinical results were evaluated as excellent or good in 5 hips(50％ ),fair in 3 hips(30％ ) and poor in 2 hips(20％ ), re- revision in 1 hip(10％ ). X－ ray film revealed definite loosening in 2 hips, probable loosening 1 hip, possible loosening 5 hips, and no loosening 2 hips. At an average of 5 years follow- up for uncemented RTHA,clinical results were evaluated as excellent in 9 cases(56％ ),good in 6 cases(38％ ), fair in 1 case (6％ ),no case need rerevision. X－ ray film revealed osseous fixation of the femoral components in 12 cases (75％ ), fibrous stability in 4 cases (25％ ). The apparent reconstitution of femoral bone structure present in the area of previous osteolysis or cortical thinning. Conclusion Clinical results of the uncemented RTHA are significantly superior to that of cemented RTHA. Reconstructing any structural bone loss with cancellous autograft and getting adequate mechanical fixation with a long stem porous- coated prosthesis may contribute to the good results of uncemented RTHA.

Objective To investigate the surgical outcome of cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Methods Twenty -five patients (14 males and 11 females) with cervical spondylotic myelopathy who underwent operative treatment between 2004 and 2007 in our hospital were included in this study. The mean duration of symptoms was 31 months (ranging from 8 days to 10 years) . The follow - up period ranged from 18 months to 4 years (mean 30 months). The study comprised 6 posterior decompression (laminoplasty) and 17 anterior cervical discectomy with fusion and anterior locking plate systems. 2 patients with severe cervical spondylotic myelopathy were treated by operation of the combining anterior and posterior. Results According to COA, the recovery (improving) rate among the tolal patients was classified as exellent in 20 cases, good in 3 cases, fair in 2 cases. The excellend and good rate was 92% . Conculusion Both anterior and posterior surgery were effective for cervical spondylotic myelopathy with effective decompression according to the location of abnormality.
