Abstract
Loosening of the acetabular cup in cemented total hip arthroplasty is always accompanied by a loss of bone stock. Acetabular lesions can be reconstructed in several ways. Preoperative planning must be through, and specifically if graft procedures are considered, infection must be ruled out. The treatment of choice is a standardized cemented acetabular revision procedure with tight impaction of morsellized cancellous grafts. The clinical success of the technique is supported by the results of an animal experiment.
