Acetabular Reconstructions in Patients with Severe Defects: Literature Review and Clinical Outcomes 

Three out of 25 patients who need an acetabular reconstruction have a severe defect classified as Paprosky type III or AAOS type III-IV. In these cases, ensuring a sustainable solution for the patient becomes particularly challenging. Many studies have explored the clinical outcomes of standard versus personalized implants for acetabular reconstructions. However, specific outcomes for patients with severe acetabular defects have received little focus.

This webinar explores the results of a literature search aimed at evaluating clinical outcomes for patients with severe acetabular defects. It looks at the differences between using modular systems with standard components and personalized solutions, like CTAC and Materialise aMace.
