Abstract:
Objective To propose measures to reconstruct the massive bone defect in acetabulum in revision hip arthroplasty on the basis of the experience in the cases treated by the authors. Methods Thirty- two hips of 33 hip revision cases with massive bone defect being operated on by the first author were summarized and analyzed. The patients included 17 males and 15 females, with the age of 40 to 90 years. 28 cases (29 hips) underwent revision for the first time, 2 cases (2 hips) for the second time,1 case (1 hip) for the third and the other 1 case (1 hip)for the fourth time. The primary surgery were artificial femoral head replacement in 8 cases (8 hips) and total hip replacement in 24 cases (25 hips). Except of 2 saddle protheses replacement, bone grafts, mainly cancellous bone grafts, were used in 31 hips, of which 22 hips were non- structural bone grafts and 9 hips were allografts of femoral head or autograft of ilium. After grafting, ready- made acetabular prostheses were implanted in 9 hips, while special prostheses were used in 24 hips, chiefly computer- aided custom- made acetabular prostheses, including winged prostheses, 2- layer metal mesh, acetabular reinforcing rings (ARR), bi- spherical prostheses, crested prostheses and saddle type prostheses. Results In the course of 0.5 to 11 years' follow- up, re- displacement or relapse of bone absorption was not found in any of the cases. The Harris hip function score rose to 54－ 89 from the pre- operative level of 17－ 48. The computer- aided custom- made acetabular prostheses could better meet the requirements of different conditions of disease, thereby reducing the difficulties of surgery. Conclusion Special prostheses have the advantages of better compatibility with the individual requirements, prevention of displacement or collapse of the bone graft and higher primary stability. The proper application of bone graft and choice of suitable prosthesis to achieve the reconstruction of acetabular fossa and the integrity of acetabular circumference will markedly improve the success rate of revision surgery.
