Use of morselized allografts for acetabular reconstruction during THA revision: French multicenter study of 508 cases with 8 years’ average follow-up

DiscussionOur hypothesis was not confirmed. The groups were not comparable initially, which may explain the differences found since the larger number of loosening cases in the frozen allograft group can be attributed to group heterogeneity. Nevertheless, morselized allografts appear to be suitable for acetabular bone defect reconstruction. A randomized study would be needed to determine whether frozen or processed allografts are superior.Level of evidenceIII, comparative retrospective study.
