The Dome Technique, an Option for Massive Anterosuperior Medial Acetabular Bone Loss: A Retrospective Case Series

ConclusionsIn three patients, the dome technique allowed for the anterosuperior column to be recreated by piecing together two porous metal augments to fill the medial bony void and create a stable column for a jumbo cup to be press fit. By recreating the deficient anterosuperior medial bone, the acetabulum can be downsized in a stepwise manner (with further surgery) and reconstructed in a stable fashion. This novel procedure is a unique option for the treatment of this challenging problem.
