Abstract
To evaluate large/Jumbo acetabular cups in revision surgery, 52 cups in 48 patients were reviewed; mean age was 71. 6 years and mean follow up 6 years.
Average Harris Hip Score was 85. Excellent bony incorporation was seen in all but the failures, of which there were three, 1 due to infection and 2 due to aseptic loosening. Major complications included 2 intraoperative fractures.
Intermediate results of acetabular revisions, using large cups, without bone grafting are encouraging.
The abstracts were prepared by Mr Simon Donell. Correspondence should be addressed to him at the Department of Orthopaedics, Norfolk & Norwich Hospital, Level 4, Centre Block, Colney Lane, Norwich NR4 7UY, United Kingdom
