Acetabular reconstruction with Eichler-Ring and cemented cup.
The authors report the data obtained from their experience in acetabular reimplantation using an Eichler ring and cemented cup. The ring that may also be applied indifferently by the prosthetic stem component, allows complete reconstruction of the anatomical border of the acetabulum even when there has been a considerable loss of substance. Long-term follow-ups have shown that by using Eichler rings partial but progressive migration is no longer manifested, a phenomenon which is evident in reimplantations with cemented cups without the ring.
