Abstract
Bone loss around the acetabular component remains one of the most challenging aspects of revision hip surgery. This chapter reviews the aims of the surgeon in treating the loss of pelvic bone stock during revision of the acetabular component, as well as the classification systems that are commonly used to assist with decision-making, both prior to the operation and at the time of the revision. It describes the surgical techniques that are available for acetabular reconstruction and reviews the clinical results that have been published in the literature with these techniques. The emphasis of the chapter is on techniques that specifically address the loss of bone stock surrounding the failed acetabular component.
