We evaluated the use of a hemipelvic acetabular transplant in 20 revision hip arthroplasties with massive acetabular bone defects. We report 65% good intermediate-term results at a mean follow-up of 5 years (4-10 years). A cemented cup (without a reinforcement ring) was entirely supported by the allograft in all procedures. There were 7 failures (5 aseptic loosening and 2 deep infections). Two dislocations occurred but did not require acetabular revision. There were 2 cases in which moderate acetabular migration occurred but then stabilised and did not progress. Thirteen of 20 acetabular reconstructions did not require revision. We believe that these are satisfactory intermediate-term results for massive acetabular defects too large for reconstruction with other standard techniques.

Purpose: Many treatment options are available for the revision of large acetabular defects. Debate continues as to which technique is most effective. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the rates of failure of acetabular bone defects Paprosky type III or American Academy of Orthopaedic types III-IV treated with morselized allograft in association with cemented cup or cementless cup or reinforcement devices.

Background: Two-stage exchange arthroplasty remains the gold standard for treating chronic hip periprosthetic joint infections. However, controversy remains regarding the optimal spacer type, particularly among patients with increased dislocation risk. This study reports on the outcomes of articulating hip spacers utilizing a single constrained-liner design.

Introduction: Granuloma formation following total hip arthroplasty (THA) can occur regardless of the bearing surface. In very rare cases, extensive granulomas mimicking tumors may develop which are known as pseudotumors. The aim of this study is to report on these rare yet complex situations to stimulate reflection in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Background: Acetabular reconstruction in the context of massive acetabular bone loss is challenging. Achieving implant stability in these situations requires special considerations. The cup-cage construct is a treatment option that addresses this issue.
