Abstract

To report the outcome of revised total hip arthroplasty procedures involving an anterior cortical window, extensive strut allografts, and an Exeter impaction graft. Eight patients (9 hips) with a mean age of 58 years underwent revision of total hip arthroplasty using the Exeter hip impaction graft system and strut allografts between 1995 and 1998. An extensile anterior approach was used, and an anterior cortical window was created in the femur, to remove the old implant. External strut allografts were attached by wires to provide cortical support. The mean follow-up duration was 74 months. Indications for surgery were aseptic loosening of previous implants in 8 hips and infection of one hip that had previously undergone total arthroplasty. 19 Dall Miles cables, 4 ordinary cerclage wires, and 8 cerclage wires tightened with the clincher knot technique were used to secure the allograft to the host bone. The strut grafts were found to be incorporated in all cases. No wires became loose. One patient developed 20 degrees of angulation at the allograft-host bone junction. Using the method of Fowler and Gie, we found that one femoral implant had subsided 2 mm within the cement mantle. Two other implants had 1 mm of subsidence at the c...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
