Abstract
Because of bony lesions, revision surgery in the acetabulum is not always easy. We have a revision cross that we use to strengthen the bone cement and give extra stability in the presence of defects.
So far, two surgeons have performed operations on 60 patients. Follow-up times range from six months to five years. One patient has been lost because of sepsis.
We conclude that this is an effective way to augment revisions.
