Abstract
Introduction: With the increasing number of primary total hip joint replacements, a substantial increase in the number of revision operations is to be expected. During arthroplasty revision, bone defects should be filled. In case of femoral bone defects during revisions, there are no metal augments for filling these defects.
Case report: The authors present the case of the use of biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramic granules with hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate (HAp/β-TCP) filling bone defects during hip arthroplasty revisions and eight years follow-up. A 59-year-old female suffered infected loosening of the left hip non-cemented endoprosthesis. During arthroplasty revisions bone defects occurred which were filled with HAp/β-TCP. Patient had periprosthetic fracture of the distal third of the femur one year after revision arthroplasty. Osteosynthesis of periprosthetic fracture with blade plate and two cerclage wires was performed and BCP ceramic granules with HAp/β-TCP were used to fill the bone defect. Patient returned to previous work and activities.
Discussion and conclusion: This case highlights the possibilities of alternative method, which might be used to fill femoral bone defects during revision arthroplasty. We suggest that BCP ceramic granules with HAp/β-TCP can be used for filling bone defects, as BCP ceramic granules transplant is adjusted to meet the demands of the bone defect anatomy. Further studies are recommended
