Minimum 2-Year Outcomes of a Novel 3D-printed Fully Porous Titanium Acetabular Shell in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fully porous acetabular shells are an appealing choice for patients with extensive acetabular defects undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). This study reports on the early outcomes of a novel 3-D printed fully porous titanium acetabular shell in revision acetabular reconstruction.

Methods

A multicenter retrospective study of patients who received a fully porous titanium acetabular shell for rTHA with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up was conducted. The primary outcome was rate of acetabular revision.

Results

The final study cohort comprised 68 patients with a mean age of 67.6 years (standard deviation 10.4) and body mass index of 29.5 kg/m2 (standard deviation 5.9). Ninety-four percent had a preoperative Paprosky defect grade of 2A or high
