To describe a salvage surgical technique for managing massive acetabular bone loss combined with pelvic discontinuity across multiple revision hip surgeries.
Evaluated the surgical management of a single patient undergoing a fourth revision total hip arthroplasty over a 24-year duration.
Stabilized the posterior column using a fracture reconstruction plate and the anterior column using a specialized reinforcement device (KT plate).
Rigid fixation of both acetabular columns produced substantial improvements in prosthetic component stability.
Dual-column reconstruction successfully restored structural integrity in the presence of severe pelvic discontinuity and massive bone loss.
