[Early results in the use of the oblong S-ROM uncemented acetabular component].

Massive deficiency of acetabular bone stock is a challenging problem in the increasing number of patients who need a revision of the failed hip arthroplasty. Oblong acetabular cup has been presented as an alternative reconstruction technique for hips with extensive acetabular bone loss. The aim of this study was to present our results with the use of a bilobed acetabular component inserted during revisional surgery, to define indications, and to introduce this method into our orthopaedic practice.
