Background: Reliability and validity of the Paprosky classification for acetabular bone loss have been debated. Additionally, the relationship between surgeon training level and Paprosky classification accuracy/treatment selection is poorly defined. This study aimed to: (1) evaluate the validity of preoperative Paprosky classification/treatment selection compared to intraoperative classification/treatment selection and (2) evaluate the relationship between training level and intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of preoperative classification and treatment choice.
Methods: Seventy-four patients with intraoperative Paprosky types [I (N = 24), II (N = 27), III (N = 23)] were selected. Six raters (Residents (N = 2), Fellows (N = 2), Attendings (N = 2)) independently provided Paprosky classification and treatment using preoperative radiographs. Graders reviewed images twice, 14 days apart. Cohen's Kappa was calculated for (1) inter-rater agreement of Paprosky classification/treatment by training level (2), intra-rater reliability, (3) preoperative and intraoperative classification agreement, and (4) preoperative treatment selection and actual treatment performed.
Results: Inter-rater agreement between raters of the same training level was moderate (K range = 0.42-0.50), and mostly poor for treatment selection (K range = 0.02-0.44). Intra-rater agreement ranged from fair to good (K range = 0.40-0.73). Agreement between preoperative and intraoperative classifications was fair (K range = 0.25-0.36). Agreement between preoperative treatment selections and actual treatments was fair (K range = 0.21-0.39).
Conclusion: Inter-rater reliability of Paprosky classification was poor to moderate for all training levels. Preoperative Paprosky classification showed fair agreement with intraoperative Paprosky grading. Treatment selections based on preoperative radiographs had fair agreement with actual treatments. Further research should investigate the role of advanced imaging and alternative classifications in evaluation of acetabular bone loss.

Purpose: The purposes of this study was to develop a novel therapy-oriented acetabular bone defects classification system based on Statistical shape models (SSMs) and evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of its application.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed and annotated pelvic Computed tomography (CT) of patients who had undergone revision total hip arthroplasty at our institution and constructed a dataset to develop the novel method for quantitatively describing acetabular bone defects that is based on SSMs. Then, using this method, classification systems are suggestive for diagnosis and corresponding treatment suggestion.

This study aimed to investigate the application of the cup-on-cup technique in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) and report clinical and radiographic outcomes from a series of case follow-ups. Retrospective analysis of 10 patients who underwent acetabular prosthesis revision with cup-on-cup technique. According to the Paprosky classification of acetabular bone defects, there were 2 cases of type II C, 3 cases of type III A, and 5 cases of type III B.

Introduction: The primary objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate and compare the functional outcomes, postoperative reinfection rates, and complication rates in patients undergoing one-stage versus two-stage surgical revision for periprosthetic hip infection.
Methods: The study population included adult patients who had undergone revision hip arthroplasty. Comparative studies have compared two-stage and one-stage revision strategies.

Introduction: The integrity of the femoral bone is crucial when considering reconstructive options for the first-time revision of a total hip arthroplasty (THA). Aseptic loosening of primary stems, whether cemented or uncemented, significantly affects the volume and quality of resultant femoral bone loss. This study evaluates the impact of the initial fixation method on femoral bone defect patterns by comparing the extent of bone loss.
