Introduction

We present our experience of the coned hemi-pelvis (‘ice-cream’ cone) implant, using an extended posterior approach to the hip joint, in the management of pelvic bone loss and pelvic discontinuity.

Methods

Retrospective study conducted utilising a prospectively collected database. Patients who underwent an ice-cream cone reconstruction between August 2004 – September 2011 were identified. All had a posterior approach to the hip. Femur prepared in the standard fashion. A variety of femoral components used. Demographic data was recorded along with the indication for surgery and outcomes.
