We previously evaluated a cohort of fifty-three patients with severe hip dysplasia (Crowe Type-II, III, or IV subluxation) who underwent a total of sixty-six Charnley total hip arthroplasties. The acetabular component was placed at the anatomic hip center, the superolateral defect was filled with cement, and no bone-grafting was used to supplement the acetabular wall. All but one patient, who was lost to follow-up, were followed until death or for a minimum of twenty years. Radiographic and functional follow-up data were collected prospectively. This retrospective review included twenty-four patients (thirty-four hips) who were alive at a minimum of twenty years following the surgery.

Fourteen (22%) of the sixty-five hips underwent revision of a component, with eleven of the revisions performed because of aseptic loosening. Eight of those eleven hips underwent revision because of acetabular loosening alone; two, because of femoral loosening alone; and one, because of loosening of both components. The combined prevalence of revision because of aseptic loosening of the acetabular component and radiographic evidence of failure of the acetabular component was 28% (eighteen hips). With the numbers available, the need for acetabular revision was not associated with the percentage of cement coverage (p = 0.362) or the Crowe classification (p = 0.159). At a minimum of twenty years postoperatively, the survivorship of the acetabular component was 86% ± 8% with revision because of aseptic loosening as the end point and 82% ± 10% with revision because of aseptic loosening or radiographic evidence of loosening as the end point. The results that we evaluated at a minimum of twenty years after use of this technique can be compared with the results of other techniques in studies with similar long-term follow-up periods.

Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
