Abstract
The three salient reasons for failure of acetabular revision surgery have been failure of fixation, wear and lysis, and dislocation. This review focuses on the major progress made in addressing these three items, leading to an overall approach integrating three contemporary techniques with a strong likelihood of improving acetabular revision surgery. These three techniques are the use of hemispheric cementless acetabular components, alternate bearings, and big heads.
