The Use of Long Cemented Stems for Femoral Impaction Grafting in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty

Abstract

The use of a long stem for femoral impaction grafting did not completely resolve the problem of postoperative fractures in these patients with substantial loss of bone stock undergoing revision hip surgery. Poor bone stock, technical errors, and other patient-related factors continue to account for the high postoperative fracture rate.
