The use of customized cages in revision total hip arthroplasty for Paprosky type III acetabular bone defects
Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is challenging if severe periacetabular bone loss is present. Here we describe a method that uses a customised cage to reconstruct an acetabulum with a massive bone defect.
