The ‘egg topping’ technique for bone graft harvesting in hip arthroplasty

Bone graft harvesting: a percutaneous technique.

Bone grafts, bone graft extenders, substitutes and enhancers for acetabular reconstruction in revision total hip arthroplasty

Acetabular bone loss is a relevant concern for surgeons dealing with a failed total hip arthroplasty.Since the femoral head is no longer available, allografts represent the first choice for most reconstructive solutions, either as a structural buttress or impacted bone chips.Even though fresh-frozen bone is firmly recommended for structural grafts, freeze-dried and/or irradiated bone may be use...

In-cement technique for revision hip arthroplasty.

The in-cement technique for revision hip arthroplasty involves retaining the original cement-bone interface. This has been proven to be a biomechanically stronger method than recementing after complete removal of the original cement mantle. This study reviewed a series of 54 consecutive revision hip arthroplasty procedures, using the in-cement technique, between November 1999 and November 2003....

Bone density study of the proximal femur after hip arthroplasty with porous-coated implants

Progressive loss of bone mineral density around the femora! component of total hip replacement continues to pose a threat to long term prosthetic survival. A linear study was undertaken to measure bone mineral density on a monthly basis following total hip arthroplasty in 11 male patients. The opposite femur was used as the control measurement. Bone mineral density was unchanged at two mo...

Total Hip Arthroplasty around the Inception of the Interface Bioactive Bone Cement Technique

BACKGROUND To augment cement-bone fixation, Dr. Hironobu Oonishi attempted additional physicochemical bonding through interposition of osteoconductive crystal hydroxyapatite (HA) granules at the cement-bone interface in 1982. He first used the interface bioactive bone cement (IBBC) technique in 12 selected patients (12 hips) in 1982 (first stage) and followed them for 2 years. In 1985, the tech...
