Abstract
Bipolar femoral head replacement (BFHR) for acetabular protrusion with the use of bone graft reinforcement to the medial and proximal acetabular wall proved to be a successful surgical procedure. Slices of bone obtained from the femoral head and bone chips were grafted and tamped firmly with a bone set.
In 5 cases of BFHR followed for an average of 10 (6-12) months, radiography showed that the bone grafts had healed in place with only a slight collapse. There was great improvement with respect to pain and function of the hips by the JOA hip score and there was no further protrusion.
