Abstract

Revision total hip arthroplasty can present many challenges to the surgeon, this is particularly true on the acetabular side. Acetabular deficiencies are frequently encountered that traditionally required complex reconstruction techniques. The introduction of improved metals and jumbo cup options has revolutionized the management of these deficiencies into a flexible, reproducible, and less technically complex procedure for a revision arthroplasty surgeon to perform. The literature is sparse, but the evidence points to very good results with uncemented acetabular cups in revision total hip arthroplasty. The technique for implantation of jumbo cups will be outlined as well.
