We evaluated the clinical results of the reconstruction of acetabular bone deficiency using hydroxyapatite (HA) granules and structural autografts supported by a Kerboull-type acetabular reinforcement device at a minimum of 10 years follow-up. Between 1993 and 2003, 40 consecutive THA revisions were performed in 37 patients with a mean age of 66.4 years. The mean follow-up period was 12.8 years. Radiologically, 5 hips failed, of which 2 were revised. The survival rate of the acetabular component at 10 years was 100% in type II defects and 94.9% in the type III defects, using acetabular revision for loosening as the end point. Acetabular reconstruction with HA granules, structural autografts and a Kerboull-type acetabular reinforcement device provided satisfactory clinical and radiological results at 12.8 years postoperatively.
