Management of Complex Acetabular Revision With Bone Loss

The management of acetabular bone loss during revision arthroplasty can be a difficult challenge. There is a wide variety of potential defects, as well as numerous implants and treatment strategies available to manage the problem. The assessment of the severity and location of bone loss preoperatively is imperative as remaining acetabular bone stock drives reconstruction options. This paper will describe the preoperative assessment, the acetabular defect classifications, proposed treatment algorithms, and the surgical options available to achieve a successful outcome when managing acetabular bone loss in revision arthroplasty.
