- Discussion:
- in planning of acetabular reconstruction, major goal is to establish normal anatomic center of rotation;
- key to preventing migration is getting fixation on acetabular periphery;
- block allografts or autografts may be essential to provide proper prosthetic support;
- secure graft fixation with maximum contact of graft to a bleeding host surface is important for appropriate healing and support;
- Paprosky classification:
- descriptive classification of defects:
- cavitary deficiencies
- the anterior and posterior columns and peripheral bone is intact;
- skeleton is intact and therefore these defects are easier to deal with than segmental defect;
- defects should be filled with graft;
- particulate graft is reversed reamed to pack evenly into defects;
- segmental defects:
- segmental defects are repaired w/ structural grafts;
- if sufficient bone is available from iliac crest & shaped to replace absent bone;
- central (medial wall absent)
- pelvic descontinuity
- Operative Strategy:
- component fixation without bone graft:
- if no more than 30-40 % of the surface of the acetabular component remains uncovered, then application of bone graft may not be necessary;
- the graft may be inserted without cement, and an acceptable amount of bone ingrowth may be expected to occur;
- if there is more than 50% uncoverage or pelvic discontinuity, then consider inserting a cemented acetabular cup (or gap cup);

- Examples:
- example of an acetabular component that was obviously loose after 3 years;
- at surgery, the femoral component was secure and was left in place;
- the acetabulum was re-reamed for insertion of a larger component;
- a cortical allograft was anchored to the lateral femur inorder to re-oppose the abductors
