Total hip arthroplasty in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is difficult and leads to worse implant survival and higher risk for complications compared to osteoarthritis. Poor periacetabular bone quality might challenge the stability of the acetabular cup. Contemporary 3D-printed highly-porous titanium cup designs have become the benchmark for cementless implants; however, their usefulness in rheumatoid arthritis is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess the short-term results of the use of a highly-porous 3D-printed acetabular titanium cup in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
