Summary

In 21 cases of severe secondary protrusio acetabuli with extensive or total destruction of the acetabular cortical structures, the double anchorage of conventional polyethylene cups with nine Müller acetabular reinforcement rings and 12 Burch-Schneider anti-protrusio reinforcement cages was carried out. They were applied in combination with reconstructive surgery of cancellous bone in three primary total hip replacements and in 18 revision operations for lossened acetabular cups following total arthroplasties. Indication for and technique of the acetabular reinforcement are described. The radiological and clinical results in 21 patients followed up were satisfactory. They confirm the efficiency of these screw-fixed reinforcement implants for the solid fixation of the plastic cup in patients with extreme acetabular deficiencies.

Zusammenfassung

Bei 21 Patienten mit ausgeprägter sekundärer Protrusio acetabuli und weitgehender oder völliger Zerstörung der kortikalen Pfannenstrukturen wurde die Doppelverankerung der zementfixierten Ersatzpfannen mit 9 Müller Pfannendachschalen und 12 Burch-Schneider Pfannenstützschalen durchgeführt. Sie wurden in Kombination mit einer rekonstruktiven Spongiosaplastik bei 3 Erstimplantationen von Totalendoprothesen und bei 18 Revisionseingriffen zur Auswechslung von ausgelockerten Pfannenimplantaten eingesetzt. Indikation und Technik der Pfannenarmierung werden beschrieben. Die radiologischen und klinischen Resultate der 21 nachuntersuchten Patienten waren zufriedenstellend. Sie bestätigen die Leistungsfähigkeit dieser schraubenfixierten Armierungsimplantate, die eine stabile Pfannenfixation bei hochgradigen zentralen Azetabulumdefekten gewährleisten.
