The absence of good bone stock with massive acetabular deficiency has been a major problem in both revision hip arthroplasty and in primary arthroplasty for congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH). 22 patients (24 hips; 21 revision and 3 primary replacements: mean age 58 years) with substantial bone loss underwent acetabular reinforcement with Burch-Schneider cages. Classification of acetabular deficiency was made according to the AAOS system. The surgical procedure involved preparation of acetabulum, filling the defect with bone autografts, placement of the cage with its flanges, fixation with screws on the lateral wall only and placement of a cement and plastic cup. Radiographic loosening with breakage of the screws was observed in only 1 patient. After a mean follow-up of 8 (2-10) years, good stability was achieved in all patients and no mechanical failure was observed. Satisfactory results were observed in all but one of the cases, indicating that effective support of the acetabulum can be achieved using Burch-Schneider cages.
