Reconstruction of the acetabulum after failed total hip arthroplasty
(THA) can be a surgical challenge in the presence of severe bone
loss. We report the long-term survival of a porous tantalum revision
acetabular component, its radiological appearance and quality of
life outcomes. We reviewed the results of 46 patients who had undergone revision
of a failed acetabular component with a Paprosky II or III bone
defect and reconstruction with a hemispherical, tantalum acetabular
component, supplementary screws and a cemented polyethylene liner.Aims
