Inferior extended fixation utilizing porous titanium augments improves primary anti-rotational stability of the acetabular component

摘要

Background: The primary anti-rotational stability is critical to preventing cup tilting failure following revision total hip arthroplasty, but is frequently compromised by severe ischial bone loss. A novel technique of "inferior extended fixation" was introduced by securing a porous metal augment into the deficient ischium. This study evaluated the effect of this technique on primary anti-rotational stability in revision total hip arthroplasty.
