Clinical impact of acetabular defect severity on hip center of rotation restoration in revision total hip arthroplasty

Key Points

• Functional outcomes remain unaffected even with less than perfect restoration of the hip center.
• Acetabular defect severity influences the approach to revision total hip arthroplasty techniques.
• Prioritizing stable fixation and bone preservation can lead to better overall results in complex cases.
• Improved strategies are needed to balance anatomical restoration with the need for stability in hip surgery.
