To report the short to medium term results of acetabular reconstruction using reinforcement/reconstruction ring, morcellised femoral head allograft and cemented metal on metal cup. Single centre retrospective study of 6 consecutive patients who underwent acetabular reconstruction for revision hip surgery. The acetabulum was reconstructed using morcellised femoral head allograft and reinforcement or reconstruction ring fixed with screws. The Birmingham cup – designed for cementless fixation, was Data from our previous in-vitro study had shown good pull out strength of a cemented Birmingham cup.Introduction

The aim of this study is to report the results of Revision hip arthroplasty using large diameter, metal on metal bearing implants- minimum 2 year follow up. A single centre retrospective study was performed of 22 consecutive patients who underwent acetabular revision surgery using metal on metal bearing implants between 2004 and 2007. Birmingham hip resurfacing (BHR) cup was used in all patients - monoblock, uncemented, without additional screws in 16 cases and cemented within reinforcement or reconstruction ring in 6 cases. Femoral revisions were carried out as necessary.Introduction
