Abstract
Hemispherical ingrowth sockets are used for acetabular revision in over 90% of cases. Multiple experiences now show the success of this technique in both consecutive series and specific settings. In addition to understanding the technique required to implant these components successfully, the surgeon must be aware of the settings in which the construct is not likely to work and plan for alternative techniques when needed.
