Abstract
We evaluated the clinical and radiological results of isolated acetabular revision hip arthroplasty. Forty-three hips underwent isolated acetabular revision with uncemented cup and were followed up for an average of 76 months. The monoblock femoral stems were used in 20 hips and modular femoral stems in 23 hips. The average Harris Hip Score improved to 87 at last follow-up from 57 preoperatively. All femoral stems maintained stable fixation with bone ingrowth and no subsidence at last follow-up. Five hips with the monoblock stem underwent rerevision due to loosening of cup with osteolysis. The isolated acetabular revision is encouraging, but in reflection of the results of the monoblock head, the visual inspection of the femoral head is not enough for evaluation of its surface status.
