PRAGUE — With more patients undergoing total hip replacements revisions at a younger age, there is considerable need for information about long-term results with acetabular replacement techniques. Therefore, a study conducted by Martijn A.J. Te Stroet, MD, and colleagues examined whether a biologic treatment — bone impaction grafting of the acetabulum — is effective in the long-term.

According to Te Stroet, who presented the study findings at the 16th EFORT Congress, here, acetabular bone impaction grafting has a 72.1% survival rate at 27-year follow-up.

Te Stroet and colleagues received the silver award at the meeting for their research.

“Acetabular bone impaction grafting revisions provide acceptable clinical results at over 25 years. The Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis overestimates the probability of revision surgery severely, due to ignoring competing risks,” Te Stroet said.
