GARRIDO FERRER, José F. et al. ¿Son los implantes “personalizados” una solución en la cirugía de revisión acetabular? A propósito de un caso. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2023, vol.88, n.5, pp.557-565. ISSN 1852-7434.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.15417/issn.1852-7434.2023.88.5.1717.

We present the case of a 73-year-old patient, previously treated with two hip prosthesis revisions due to a chronic infection caused by a multidrug-resistant microorganism, who consulted after the first surgical procedure. Radiographic and computed tomography studies revealed a Paprosky type IV femoral defect and a type IIIA acetabular defect. Following clinical and laboratory monitoring, it was decided to perform acetabular reconstruction using a custom-made implant and a tumor stem. Two years later, the patient shows a favorable evolution: he is able to walk with a cane and without pain. The implant is stable and properly positioned, with no recurrent infection.

Palabras clave : Revision; acetabular; custom-made.
