Abstract
Primary total hip arthroplasty can be complicated by acetabular bony defects, threatening the biomechanical integrity of the prosthesis. Traditionally, when autologous bone is used to pack these defects, it is obtained from thin slices of femoral head in addition to acetabular reamings. We report a novel technique for the acquisition of autologous femoral head bone graft used in the reconstruction of acetabular defects during primary total hip arthroplasty.
