In a prospective, multicenter study evaluating one revision knee system, 33 of 409 patients underwent morselized bone grafting for tibial and femoral defects. Fifty-four percent of defects were bicondylar and the defect volumes averaged 36 cc3. There was no difference in preoperative or postoperative knee scores between patients undergoing morselized grafting and the entire group. Radiographic evaluation showed remodeling of the grafted areas consistent with viable incorporation of the graft. The incidence of radiolucent lines, at 2 years followup, was not different between the patients who received grafting and the patients who did not receive grafting. There have been no clinical failures or reoperations in the patients who received morselized bone grafting. Morselized bone grafting seems to offer a viable alternative in the reconstruction of osseous defects in patients undergoing revision total knee arthroplasty.
