Popis: This study reports the results of 41 revision hips, implanted by a single surgeon using impaction grafting (mean follow-up, 4.7 years). All hips had Paprosky scores of III or IV. Harris hip scores improved from 43 to 82. There was 1 intraoperative and 2 postoperative fractures. A single stem was revised during the study. Radiographic review showed the 40 unrevised stems to be stable, and graft incorporation was seen in at least 1 zone in 100% of the femurs. There was no stem subsidence greater than 2.5 mm. The results of this study demonstrate that preoperative planning and a surgical technique, which emphasizes femoral support and vigorous impaction grafting, resulted in an acceptable incidence of complications.
