Description
Summary:Acetabular augmentation is a challenge for complex primary and revision hip surgery. Several methods exist to recreate a supportive, hemispherical acetabulum where a defect exists, however, these can be complex, expensive, time consuming, and limited by available size and shape. We present a simple, inexpensive, quick and customisable method of acetabular augmentation using cementless polyethylene with titanium coating. The first case is presented with follow-up up to 8 years.
