Introduction and Objective

The surgical strategy for acetabular component revision is determined by available host bone stock. Acetabular bone deficiencies vary from cavitary or segmental defects to complete discontinuity. For segmental acetabular defects with more than 50% of the graft supporting the cup it is recommended the application of reinforcement ring or ilioischial antiprotrusio devices. Acetabular reconstruction with the use of the antiprotrusion cage (APC) and allografts represents a reliable procedure to manage severe periprosthetic deficiencies with highly successful long-term outcomes in revision arthroplasty.

Objective

We present our experience, results, critical issues and technical innovations aimed at improving survival rates of antiprotrusio cages.
