Summary
Forty-three femoral grafts were used to reconstruct femoral deficiency in revision total hip replacement. Allografts were used in the majority of cases but were always supplemented by autograft. Grafts were used to reconstruct deficiencies of the calcar, cortical perforation, fractures about or below the stem of the femoral component and for massive proximal deficiency of the metaphysis and diaphysis of the femur. These reconstructions were major procedures and complications were significant but comparable to those described for other revision surgery. The infection rate was 5.4%
