a-b Preoperative radiographs of a 38-year-old man who underwent revision THA for periprosthetic joint infection, showing the placement of antibiotic-loaded spacer with Paprosky type IIIA femoral bone defect. c-d Radiograph immediately after revision with extensively porous-coated stem and cortical strut allografts. e-f Radiographs at 9 years after revision. Bone ingrowth and no signs of stem loosening were observed. Cortical strut allografts incorporated to the host bone successfully. Moderate stress shielding was observed in proximal femur both medial and lateral sides (white arrow)
