The biology of bone grafting.
Allograft bone continues to play an important role in revision hip and knee arthroplasty with well documented clinical success. A basic understanding of allograft biology and immunology is important in order to optimize outcome. The importance of the interaction of immunologic factors with the biologic processes involved in bone graft incorporation has yet to be fully understood. A better understanding may, in the future, enable an improvement in the quality and uniformity of clinical outcome.

Long-term results of late non-operative reduction of developmental dysplasia of the hip.
Over a 20-year period we treated 29 patients (31 dislocated hips) by non-operative reduction after nine months of age, using horizontal traction. They were followed up for a mean of 11.7 years, and 12 hips required secondary extra-articular surgery. The clinical result was excellent in 25 hips, good in four and fair in two. Of the 29 hips for which detailed radiographs were available, 18 achieved Severin grade I, nine grade II and two grade III. There were no major complications and, in particular, no cases of avascular necrosis. The non-operative reduction of late-presenting developmental dysplasia of the hip is still a viable option. It has a potential for excellent results and a very low complication rate.
