title: Implant choices, technique, and results in revision acetabular surgery: a review.
abstract: Acetabular reconstruction in revision total hip arthroplasty can successfully be achieved with hemispherical components featuring a porous or roughened ingrowth surface and options for placement of multiple screws. Most defects can be reconstructed with large hemispherical or "jumbo" cups. Achieving component stability and sufficient contact area on adequate host bone is mandatory. Defects with greater bony loss or compromised columns require either the use of modular augments combined with a hemispherical shell, reconstruction cages, structural allografts, or custom triflange acetabular components. This paper will detail the necessary pre-operative evaluation, the intra-operative details, and the reported results of these acetabular revisions.
