We recently had the opportunity to take histological sections from two patients who underwent acetabular reconstruction in which allograft and ME Müller acetabular roof reinforcement rings were used. In one patient (case 1), histological sections of the chipped allograft were taken on two separate occasions from the same area, at 7 months, and at 3 years and 11 months after the bone graft. The histology of the chipped allograft showed necrosis at 7 months, but almost normal morphology of trabecular bone formation at 3 years and 11 months after the bone graft. In the other patient (case 2) histological sections of the block allograft and chipped allograft were taken at 1 year and 8 months after the bone graft. The block allograft showed only a small amount of admixture of newly formed bone with the necrotic bone, while the chipped allograft showed a large amount of newly formed bone, with only a small amount of necrotic bone remaining. Therefore, we principally use chipped allograft for acetabular reconstruction, in order to achieve early and complete graft incorporation. If a block allograft is used in a weight-bearing area, it should be protected from excessive load by using an acetabular reinforcement device.
