Objective: To report clinical and radiographic graft incorporation capability of bovine freeze-dried bone grafts.
Methods: Twenty five patients were enrolled. The mean follow-up was eight years. Grafts were purified and freeze-dried. Clinical analysis was based on the score of Merle d'Aubigné and Postel and an established score criteria for radiographic bone incorporation was used for radiographic analyses.
Results: Good clinical and radiographic results were found in 80% and 72% of the cases, respectively.
Conclusion: Bovine freeze-dried grafts can be safely and adequately used in acetabular revision in total hip arthroplasty.
