Abstract

Bone grafts are needed in most revision THA cases. We treated 2 patients (RA, OA) using autografts of resected femoral head, preserved in subcutaneous space. The patients underwent revision THA 2 months after contralateral primary THA ; bone chips from preserved femoral head material were impacted into acetabular bone defects and the intramedullary femoral canal.
Post-operative X rays showed homogenous patterns within 9 months after surgery.
