Section snippets
Materials and methods
A total of 79 revision operations of acetabular components were performed in 75 patients using the Burch-Schneider cage. Patients with segmental or combined bone defects were included in the study. Patients undergoing primary procedures, patients with isolated cavitary defects, patients with septic exchange, and patients with tumors or metastases in the region of the operation were excluded from the study. The mean follow-up period was 5.45 years (range, 36-120 months). A total of 62 patients
Perioperative procedure
A total of 79 Burch-Schneider cages were implanted in 75 patients. According to Paprosky's definition [1], 3 patients (3.9%) had stage IIa defects, 23 (30.3%) had stage IIb defects, 33 (43.4%) had stage IIc defects, 5 patients (6.6%) had stage IIIa defects, and 12 patients (15.6%) had stage IIIb defects.
Specific risk factors were confirmed osteoporosis in 12 cases (15.2%), renal osteopathy in 4 cases (5.1%), peripheral occlusive arterial disease on the side of the operation in 4 case (5.1%), a
Discussion
Comparison of the results of revision arthroplasty of the hip joint is difficult [16]. Various implants have been recommended for extensive bone defects of the acetabulum, such as bipolar prostheses 17, 18, 19, eccentric prostheses 20, 21, 22, oversized cups [23], support rings 9, 24, and individual implants, frequently with additional use of bone transplantation. No single implant is suitable for treating the whole spectrum of defects, however, The surgical procedure must be selected according
