Abstract

The main problem in revision hip arthroplasty is bone loss. Every attempt should be made to conserve the existing bone and restore the missing bone where possible during reconstruction of the acetabulum and femur. Femoral impaction grafting is a demanding but powerful technique to restore the bone loss and prepare for any further revisions in future. It allows the use of a cemented stem which loads the cancellous bed of the graft and helps in neo-osteogenesis. We report our technique of using this technique in femoral revisions.
