Abstract
Severe bone loss resulting in pelvic discontinuity may result in <50% coverage of the socket by native bone. The goal in these cases is to bridge the gap by using bone grafts, methylmethacrylate, or both. The partial pelvis cup helps protect bone grafts during their incorporation and also provides a stable construct to the acetabulum for weight bearing.
