Abstract
Introduction
Total hip arthroplasty revision surgery using a tissue bank bone graft is a treatment for failure of a previous arthroplasty associated to bone defects. Very little data are available on the profile conditions of these patients, and only data related to primary joint replacements are commonly found.
Objectives
To determine the profile of patients undergoing THAR using bone allograft from a tissue bank, and possible characteristics of these failures associated with large bone defects. Methodology: This is an observational cross-sectional study carried out by analyzing medical records of a reference service in the period of 2013 and 2019. A total of 36 variables were collected on data such as age, demographic characteristics, time, and history of interventions, comorbidities and medications, information the hospitalization period, surgery, and graft presentation. The groups of structured and ground graft were compared with each other.
