Background: The use of dual mobility cups (DMC) has been shown to reduce hip instability after revision surgery. For severe acetabular bone loss, reconstruction with a Kerboull cross-plate and bone allograft would contribute to restoring native hip position and bone stock. Only two papers reported on the combination of Kerboull cross-plate with bone allograft and cemented DMC in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods: This is a monocentric retrospective study (28 cases) of first-time revision THA using such a construct in American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) grade III and IV acetabular bone defect. Detailed demographic, clinical and radiographic results were recorded and evaluated.

Results: With a mean follow-up of six ± 3.63 years, no case of instability was reported. The modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) was 88.4 ± 10.1. No hook fracture or mechanical failure was observed. Non-progressive radiolucent lines were recorded. Osteointegration of the allografts was observed in all cases with a mean Grodet score of 7.9 ± 0.97.

Conclusions: In first revision THA, the use of a Kerboull cross-plate with allograft and a cemented DMC in AAOS grade III and IV acetabular bone defects demonstrated excellent clinical and radiological outcomes with no recorded cases of dislocation or mechanical failure.
