Abstract:
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the early
results of patients with acetabular dysplasia treated with the use of uncemented acetabular components and without
complex bony augmentation. Materials and Methods:
Eleven patients (13 hips) were included in this study. The
median acetabular component size was 44mm (range, 44-
56mm). The mean follow up period was 24 months (range,
15-59 months). All patients were pain free at follow up.
Results: The mean Merle d'Aubigné Postel score increased
from 3 to 17. Our early results suggest that acetabular
reconstruction using a small cementless cup, may be an
alternative to previously described methods of total hip
arthroplasty in the presence of superolateral bone loss.
