Background: Massive acetabular bone defects reconstructed with allografting and antiprotrusio cage in revision hip arthroplasty is less reported in the literature. We here report a series of 84 antiprotrusio cages and analyze the risk factors associated with failure.
Methods: All instances of use of an antiprotrusio cage for massive acetabular defect (Paprosky type IIc, III, and pelvic discontinuity) between 2002 and 2017 in the authors' institute were reviewed after institutional review board's approval. Survival analyses based on clinical data, bone defect (Paprosky system), type of allograft, size of cage, fixation quality, and position of cage were performed. Failure was defined as cage loosening or breakage, poor hip function, or cage revision for any reason.
Results: A total of 84 cages in 77 patients (mean age, 62.9 years), with a mean follow-up period of 6.2 years, had a survival rate of 82.1%. Failure was noted in 15 hips, including mechanical failure in 8 hips, recurrent dislocation in 1 hip, poor hip function in 1 hip, and periprosthetic joint infection in 5 hips. Pelvic discontinuity, reconstruction with morselized allograft alone, and fewer than 4 fixation points to the host bone were associated with higher failure rates (hazard ratios, 4.02, 3.42, and 9.9, respectively).
Conclusion: We found that an antiprotrusio cage combined with strut allografts, fixed securely to the host bone (>4 fixation points), are beneficial for the management of massive acetabular bone defects. However, pelvic discontinuity remains a challenge that warrants the further study of technical or prosthetic innovations, such as triflange implants, cup cage, and 3D-printed implants.

What Are the Functional, Radiographic, and Survivorship Outcomes of a Modified Cup-cage Technique for Pelvic Discontinuity?

Article Synopsis
- Pelvic discontinuity (PD) poses challenges in revision hip surgeries, and this study investigates a modified cup-cage approach that positions the cup based on the cage for better alignment.
- The study aims to assess patient outcomes after the modified technique, focusing on Harris hip scores, survivorship rates without complications, and the prevalence of surgical issues over a minimum two-year follow-up.
- Conducted between 2013 and 2022, the analysis included 30 patients, examining their recovery and functionality after the procedure, with an average age of 61 years.
Cage Augmentation of the Retained Acetabular Shell with a Dual Mobility Cup using the Double Socket Technique.

Introduction: Prevention of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a topic of debate. There are various surgical options to manage hip instability such as large femoral heads, and constrained liners, although the best option to tackle this is still controversial. In revision scenarios with previous well-fixed acetabulum shells, the cementation of polyethylene liners or the cementation of dual mobility (DM) into a well-fixed acetabulum shell (Double Socket Technique) has been documented before.

Background: Large acetabular bone defects present a serious challenge in revision total hip arthroplasty. The off-label use of antiprotrusio cages in combination with tantalum augments is a promising treatment option in these difficult situations.
Methods: Between 2008 and 2013, 100 consecutive patients underwent acetabular cup revision with a cage-augment combination in Paprosky 2 and 3 defect types (including pelvic discontinuities).

Background: A number of papers have been published about the clinical performance of modern rough-blasted titanium Burch-Schneider antiprotrusio cages (BS-APCs) for the treatment of acetabular bone defects. However, no systematic review of the literature has been published to date.
Methods: The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were queried for publications using keywords pertinent to Burch-Schneider antiprotrusio cage, revision THA, and clinical outcomes.
Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of an antiprotrusio acetabular cage (APC) when used in the surgical treatment of periacetabular bone metastases.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study using a prospectively collected database involved 56 patients who underwent acetabular reconstruction for periacetabular bone metastases or haematological malignancy using a single APC between January 2009 and 2020. The mean follow-up was 20 months (1 to 143).
