Management of acetabular bone loss in revision total hip arthroplasty

J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2011 Oct 5;93(19):1842-52. doi: 10.2106/JBJS.J.01197.

Abstract

Most acetabular revisions can be managed with a hemispherical component with screw fixation. Areas of segmental bone loss that preclude acetabular component stability may be managed with structural allograft or second-generation porous metal augments. Acetabular cages have a limited application but can be a useful tool in the management of massive bone loss and pelvic discontinuity.
