Bilobed oblong porous coated acetabular components in revision total hip arthroplasty.
Thirty-eight oblong bilobed noncustom uncemented, porous-coated titanium acetabular components were used to reconstruct failed hip arthroplasties with large superior segmental acetabular bone deficiencies. No structural bone grafts were used. All patients were followed up for 2 to 5 years (mean, 3 years) after the operation. One patient (whose socket rested primarily on a structural bone graft from a previous procedure) had revision surgery for acetabular loosening. No other patients have had revision surgery or had another ipsilateral hip operation. At latest followup, 35 patients had no or mild pain and two patients had moderate pain. Two implants migrated more than 2 mm in the first year, then stabilized. On the latest radiographs, two implants had bead shedding, but there was no measurable migration or change in position. For selected patients with large superolateral acetabular bone deficiencies, this implant facilitated a complex reconstruction, provided good clinical results, and showed satisfactory stability at early to midterm followup in most patients.
