Enhancing biology and providing structural support for acetabular reconstruction in single-stage revision for infection

ConclusionMetal augments can convert massive acetabular defects to a more contained defect suitable for grafting. The combination of tantalum augments that provide strong structural support and antibiotic-loaded allograft is successful in the mid-term in single-stage revisions for infection.Level of evidenceLevel IV (prospective case series).
