We report the results of a new method of reconstructing the femur in 22 patients with severe bone loss having revision hip arthroplasty. The calcar and metaphysis were reconstructed with cortico-cancellous autograft around a new modular hip replacement. The metaphyseal portion of the implant is free to slide on the stem and therefore loads the graft and, we believe, encourages bone graft incorporation. The stem gains cementless fixation distal to the area of bone loss, thus preventing fractures and allowing the areas of bone loss to heal. At the time of review at a mean of 3 years follow-up there had been no revisions (since then there has been one re-revision due to recurrence of infection). The modified D'Aubigné and Postel hip score improved from 7.3 to 15. In 17 patients the graft has incorporated, in 5 it has partially resorbed but the prosthesis remains secure. We conclude that this is a relatively simple and successful technique for overcoming the problem of major femoral bone loss.

As the indications for total hip arthroplasty increase, the prevalence of extensive proximal femoral bone loss will increase as a consequence of massive osteolysis, stress shielding and multiple revisions. Proximal femoral bone stock deficiency provides a major challenge for revision hip arthroplasty and is likely to account for a significant future caseload. Various surgical techniques have been advocated included impaction allografting, distal press-fit fixation and massive endoprosthetic reconstruction. This review article provides a systematic review of the current literature to assess the outcome of revision hip arthroplasty using allograft to reconstruction massive proximal femoral bone loss.

We report the results of a new technique of proximal cement fixation in 41 patients having revision hip arthroplasty using the Oxford modular femoral component. This consists of two parts, a metaphised wedge and a stem. The metaphyseal wedge is cemented and applies the load proximally to encourage bone healing. The wedge is free to slide on an uncemented stem that gains fixation distal to areas of bone loss, with the intention of reducing the risk of fracture. The clinical and radiographic follow-up ranged from a minimum of 3 years to 7 years. There have been no re-revisions. Ninety percent of the patients had pain or slight pain. Despite a relatively high rate of early subsidence, we feel that our results are encouraging, and justify the continued use of this component in hip revision surgery.

Introduction Femoral impaction bone allografting in revision hip arthroplasty facilitates physiological reconstruction with restoration of bone stock, allowing implantation of a standard cemented femoral component. The purpose of this study was to report our experience in femoral component revision arthroplasty with impaction morsellised cancellous bone allograft using custom impactors and a cemented triple-taper polished stem. Methods Retrospective analysis of all cases of femoral component revision hip arthroplasty with impaction bone grafting undertaken by a single surgeon from 2005 to 2011. Outcome measures included radiographic analysis of stem subsidence over time, graft remodelling and incorporation, and clinical progress. Results We reviewed 47 consecutive hips in 44 patients, mean age 62 years (37-88). Femoral impaction with allograft was performed as either single stage (41 cases) or 2-stage (6 cases) procedures. All patients received a cemented C-stem prosthesis. The mean follow-up period was 5.1 (1.3-9.4) years. The median pre-operative bone defect score was 3 (interquartile range [IQR] 2-3) using the Endo-Klinik classification. Radiological evidence of graft incorporation was observed in 89% (281 of 315 zones) with additional remodelling observed in 33% (103 of 315 zones). The median stem subsidence at 1-year follow-up was 1.1 mm (standard deviation [SD] 1.24 mm, range 0-6 mm). The median Oxford Hip Score at the most recent follow-up was 36.5. To date no femoral component has undergone further revision. Conclusions Encouraging results have been obtained with this technique for the treatment of significant bone loss in revision hip arthroplasty, allowing implantation of a standard prosthesis.
