Uso de copas de tantalio trabecular para la reconstruccion acetabular compleja: Resultados de una serie de 42 casos y un seguimiento promedio de tres años. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol.

Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to review of our clinical and radiological results with the use of trabecular metal cups for complex acetabular reconstruction, both in primary and revision total hip arthroplasties, and to compare our results with those in similar series from other authors. Methods: A series of 42 surgeries (29 hip revisions and 13 primary total hip arthroplasties) in 40 patients, between March 2010 and March 2016 was retrospectively reviewed. The series included 20 women and 20 men, with a mean age of 60 years (range 27-93). The mean follow-up was 37 months (range 12-84). All patients were treated with the same type of trabecular metal. Results: At the average follow-up, the survival of the acetabular component was 97.6%. One patient required resection arthroplasty due to persistent infection. Overall complication rate was 12% and the average postoperative Harris Hip Score was 81.54 (range 63.25-92.75). Conclusions: Despite further follow-up is needed, trabecular metal cup use for complex acetabular reconstruction shows promising results.
