Abstract

The burden of revision total hip arthroplasty continues to rise exponentially, which is a reflection of the increasing number of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures being performed, lower surgeon thresholds for THA due to excellent mid- to long-term success rates and improved survival of the general population. Acetabular bone loss encountered at the time of revision surgery can present a significant pre- and intra-operative surgical challenge. This review covers the causes, a classification system and surgical options for treatment of acetabular bone loss at revision surgery.
