Abstract
Superior acetabular defects that are combined cavitary and segmental (American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons [AAOS] type III) can be reconstructed with oblong acetabular components and have several theoretical advantages to the previously described techniques that use high hip center or bulk allografts. The indications and technique of oblong cup acetabular revisions is presented. The results have been favorable with 67% good to excellent clinical results and a 100% survivorship at a minimum 5-year follow-up.
