Module: Algorithm for acetabular reconstruction in hip revision

Introduction

This module will provide learners with a thoughtful methodology to the evaluation and treatment of patients with acetabular implant failure after hip joint replacement. The use of an algorithm is critical to achieve a reproducible acetabular reconstruction. This module reviews the key considerations based on the Paprosky classification, demonstrates techniques and choices for different classifications of defected or lost bone in the acetabulum to optimise fixation and stability.

Pre-requisites

A good understanding of the basic principles of Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty (rTHA)

What you will learn

Receive an in-depth review of the core principles underlying hip acetabular revision surgery
Diagnose and classify different acetabular pathologies after failure in total hip arthroplasty and apply the appropriate treatment options
Gain awareness of the additional associated considerations for acetabular revision surgery such as pre-operative planning and patient selection
Appreciate the key features and benefits of the REDAPT^◊ Revision Acetabular System
