ABSTRACT
In a retrospective study 14 acetabular components, implanted as part of a revision total hip arthroplasty, are radiographically analyzed. Major loss of bone was present in all cases. A bone augmentation technique is described in which a hemispherical porous coated cup was used without additional fixation together with morcelized bone grafts. No failure was noted and radiographic evidence of cup stability was noted in all cases.

ABSTRACT
This prospective study examines whether HLA-DR matching has a beneficial effect on corneal graft survival of high risk patients. Until now, 196 donors have been typed in order to provide 20 patients with a matching graft. The results, though preliminary, are very encouraging.
