Bone defects of the acetabulum caused by loosening of the socket of a total hip prosthesis can be filled in with autoclaved homologous cancellous bone grafts. Five months after surgery a radiological change in the bony structure is visible. Histological examination shows that new bone is formed around the autoclaved bone.
