Introduction: Several techniques have been described for revision of acetabulum associated with severe superior bony defects. An
Introduction. Acetabular revision surgery is becoming more prevalent with an estimated increase of 137% by 2030. It is challenging surgery especially in the presence of deficient bone loss. Several techniques of acetabular reconstruction are used world-wide. The greater the bone loss (Paprosky Type IIIA and IIIB, and AAOS Classification of Acetabular Bone Loss Type 3 and 4) the more complex are the reconstruction methods. There is however, insufficient literature comparing the contemporary techniques of revision acetabular reconstruction and their outcomes. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature and to report clinical outcomes and survival of contemporary acetabular revision arthroplasty techniques (tantalum metal (TM) systems, uncemented revision jumbo cups, reinforced devices such as cages and rings,
Introduction: Bone stock in revision total hip arthroplasty is one of the most important issues for the orthopaedic surgeon. Different options have been described to manage acetabular bone defects. We reviewed the clinical and radiological results of two different uncemented
The treatment of extensive bone loss and massive acetabular defects is a challenging procedure, especially the concomitant pelvic discontinuity (PD) can be compounded by several challenges and pitfalls. The appropriate treatment strategy is to restore a stable continuity between the ischium and the ilium and to reconstruct the anatomical hip center. Antiprotrusio cages, metal augments, reconstruction cages with screw fixation, structural allograft with plating, jumbo
The treatment of extensive bone loss and massive acetabular defects is a challenging procedure, especially in cases with concomitant pelvic discontinuity (PD). Pelvic discontinuity describes the separation of the ilium proximally from the ischio-pubic region distally. The appropriate treatment strategy is to restore a stable continuity between the ischium and the ilium to reconstruct the anatomical hip center. Several treatment options such as antiprotrusio cages, metal augments, reconstruction cages with screw fixation, structural allograft with plating, jumbo
