The Use of a Trabecular Metal Acetabular Component and Trabecular Metal Augment for Severe Acetabular Defects

Acetabular defects with severe bone loss cannot be reliably reconstructed with the use of a hemispherical acetabular component alone. The use of a trabecular metal acetabular component with a trabecular metal augmentation is an alternative to bulk allograft in the acetabular revision of patients with segmental bone loss of the superior dome.
