  • Title: Proximal femoral allografts for reconstruction of bone stock in revision arthroplasty of the hip.
    Author: Gross AE, Hutchison CR.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 1998 Apr; 29(2):313-7. PubMed ID: 9553576.
    Abstract:
    Full circumferential bone loss of the proximal femur can be managed by segmental allografts. The use of these grafts is indicated for uncontained defects longer than five cm in length. The femoral implant is cemented into the allograft but not into the host. The allograft host junction is stabilized by a step cut or oblique osteotomy and autografted with residual host femur. The results at five and nine years support this kind of reconstruction as a good alternative for this difficult problem.
