| Popis: | Background No consensus exists as to whether to let patients bear weight or not after revision of a loosened hip prosthesis using morselized and impacted allograft bone and cement. In the original description of the method, the patients were advised not to bear weight for 3 months postoperatively. Theoretically, bone graft remodeling is enhanced by mechanical load, but an increased migration of the prosthesis within the graft can also be anticipated. In addition, practicing restricted weight-bearing is cumbersome for the patients. |
