Abstract

Abstract : Long-stemmed uncemented implants are commonly used during revision hip arthroplasty but may be difficult to re-revise. Impaction bone grafting allows for the use of a shorter cemented stem during revision hip arthroplasty and may restore bone stock in patients with substantial femoral defects. Femoral impaction bone grafting is particularly beneficial in younger patients, who are more likely to require additional revision procedures in the future. The surgical technique used at our institution includes improvements to previous methods including the use of modular tamps and nonirradiated, size-profiled bone graft.
