Custom-made Trabecular Metal Acetabular Component in Total Hip Revision

Abstract

The following case report aims to demonstrate a total hip arthroplasty revision surgery (THARS) using a custom-made trabecular metal acetabular component for correction of a severe acetabular defect. Currently, in the literature, there are few complete descriptions of surgical planning and procedures involving customized prostheses. This is due to the inherent technical difficulty of the surgical procedure and the high costs related to the planning and materials.
