Aim. Aim of this monocentric, prospective study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy, clinical and radiographical results at 24-month follow-up (N = 6 patients) undergoing hip revision surgery with severe acetabular bone defects (Paprosky 2C-3A-3B) using a combination of a novel phase-pure betatricalciumphosphate - collagen 3D matrix with allograft bone chips. Method. Prospective follow-up of 6 consecutive patients, who underwent revision surgery of the acetabular component in presence of massive bone defects between April 2018 and July 2019.
