Abstract
We used the Wagner (1989) method in 31 hip revisions because of loosening with pronounced scalloping, which made a conventional revision unsuitable. The radiographs showed that within a few months new bone developed in the defects. In 5 cases, a new revision was necessary at an early stage, because of dislocation and/or subsidence. At follow-up after 3 (1.5-5) years, 21 of the remaining 26 hips were pain-free and 23 had almost full range of motion.Keywords
