Why the study?
Does cemented total hip reconstruction with acetabular mesh improve outcomes in patients with central acetabular deficiency?
Does cemented total hip reconstruction with acetabular mesh improve outcomes in patients with central acetabular deficiency?
Total hip reconstruction using acetabular mesh is unsatisfactory in patients with moderate or severe central acetabular bone loss and defects through the medial wall.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High loosening risk with >1 cm medial defects cautions against mesh use in moderate-severe loss; Level 5 data leave open role in milder deficiency.
Jasty et al. (1988) studied this question.
