Resumo

Revision arthroplasty of the hip may require restoration of bone stock on the femoral side to provide bone support for the new implant and restore anatomy and leg length. Large cortical defects can be reconstructed best with allograft bone because of the quality and quantity of the bone required. In this article, the surgical technique and results of cortical allograft as full circumferential and cortical strut grafts are presented.
