Background: Reconstruction of the bone stock and fixation of the implant remain challenging problems in revision surgery. In this retrospective study, we wanted to gain information on initial stability and wear after revision with the Burch-Schneider ring.
Patients And Methods: Between 1994 and 1998, we performed 70 reconstructions of the acetabulum with a Burch-Schneider ring in revision arthroplasty. 63 patients could be followed up clinically and radiographically. 40 cups were suitable for EBRA measurements whereas migration and wear could not be assessed by this method in 23 cases due to lack of comparability of pelvic radiographs. The mean follow-up time was 4.7 years.
Results: 2 cups were re-revised and 14 cups had breakage or changes of position of the screws. 30 cups showed detectable migration and 18 cups detectable wear. The mean migration was 2.8 mm and the mean wear rate was 0.12 mm/year. 16 cups had detectable migration after 1 year; 11 of these 16 continued to migrate and 9 of them had screw breakage. Both re-revisions showed early migration. Early migration correlated with later screw breakage and the overall migration correlated with wear. The only risk factor found for early migration was the wear rate.
Interpretation: The Burch-Schneider ring is an established and reliable implant for cup revision with good clinical results, but it seems to be difficult to maintain intraoperative stability. The implants with continuous migration may lead to late clinical failure and require further observation. Wear may contribute to migration and resorption of the bone graft.

Introduction: seizures can trigger fractures and dislocations. Injuries depend on the severity, duration and type of seizure. We present a case report of a male patient who presented with a bilateral central dislocation fracture of the hip following an episode of seizure.

Different treatment options for acetabular fractures in the elderly and nonagenarians exist; a consistent guideline has not been established, yet. The purpose of this study is to give an overview of how those fractures can be handled and compares two different surgical treatment methods. A total of 89 patients ≥ 18 years between 2016 and 2021 with acetabular fractures in our department received a surgical intervention with plate fixation via the Stoppa approach or a total hip arthroplasty with a Burch-Schneider ring and integrated cup.

Introduction: The aim of this article is to show a new concept of indication and application of the MUTARS RS Cup System in primary and revision hip arthroplasty. This integrated system is applicable for different acetabular cup replacements in patients with acetabular fractures or instable defects, as well as periprosthetic acetabular fractures. The MUTARS RS Cup System is a cementless revision cup for insertion into the acetabulum with an integrated polyethylene cup, which fits to a regular or bipolar head.

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes in elderly patients treated with an acute total hip arthroplasty (THA). Patients and methods This retrospective study included 16 patients (10 women and 6 men) with a mean age of 80.

Background: The idea of ''de-escalation'' (DE) indicates an arthroplasty revision performed by changing a revision component by a primary component. Aim of this study is to verify if this technique can represent an option in case of cage or ring failure.
Methods: We observed five cases of revision hip cage loosening with complete allograft consolidation.
