Abstract
A major concern during revision hip arthroplasty is acetabular bone loss during the extraction of well-fixed acetabular components. Despite the good early survivorship of resurfacing prostheses, revision surgery may be necessary. We recommend the use of the Explant acetabular extraction system (Zimmer, Warsaw, Ind) with a trial liner to preserve acetabular bone stock. We present 2 cases of revised resurfacings using this technique, demonstrating minimal interference to the remaining acetabular bone.
