Purpose

To assess acetabular component fixation by bone ongrowth onto a titanium plasma sprayed surface as used in revision total hip arthroplasty. Acetabular bone defects, a common finding in revision surgery, and their relation to outcome were also investigated.

Methods

Clinical and radiological results were evaluated for all revision total hip replacements done between 2006 and 2011 that included the use of a specific revision acetabular component. Forty six hips in 46 patients were followed for an average of 2.5 years (range8 months to 6 years). The acetabular defects were graded according to Paprosky's classification.
