Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Cemented versus cementless revision femoral stems using morselized allograft--a prospective, randomized study with 5 years follow-up].
There are only few studies on hip revision using the impaction grafting technique. Furthermore, data on cementless femoral stems as compared to cemented and polished femoral stems are lacking. We wanted to determine whether cementless femoral stems were equally good in preserving bone mineral density around the femoral stem and in functional outcome. ⋯ Cemented technique in hip revisions using morselized bone allograft is as good as uncemented technique in preserving BMD measured by the DEXA method and restoring function in a 5 years follow-up.
