RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Acetabular reconstruction in the context of massive acetabular bone loss is challenging. Achieving implant stability in these situations requires special considerations. The cup-cage construct is a treatment option that addresses this issue. This study evaluates survivorship, complications, and functional outcomes using the cup-cage construct. METHODS: A total of 131 cup-cage implants (129 patients) were identified from our retrospective review of revision total hip arthroplasties from January 2003 to January 2022. Among these cases, 100 (76.3%) were women, the mean age at the time of surgery was 68 years (range, 29 to 92; SD [SD], 12.4), and the mean follow-up was 7.7 years (range, 0.02 to 20.3; SD, 5.1). Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was conducted with failure defined as revision surgery and/or failure of the cup-cage reconstruction. RESULTS: At a mean follow-up of 7.7 years, the cup-cage construct survivorship due to all-cause failure was 83.9% (95% CI [confidence interval]: 77.6 to 90.2) at 5 years with 88 hips at risk, 74.8% (95% CI: 66.2 to 83.4) at 10 years with 38 hips at risk, and 69.8% (95% CI: 59.4 to 80.2) at 15 years with 11 hips at risk. The survivorship due to failure from aseptic loosening was 96.7% (95% CI: 93.6 to 99.8) at 5 years with 88 hips at risk and 95.5% (95% CI: 91.6 to 99.4) at 10 and 15 years with 38 and 11 hips at risk, respectively. The revision rate for aseptic loosening of the cup and/or cage, infection, dislocation, and aseptic loosening of the femoral stem was 5 of 131 (3.8%), 12 of 131 (9.1%), 10 of 131 (7.6%), and 2 of 131 (1.5%). CONCLUSIONS: The cup-cage construct is a reliable treatment option for the treatment of various acetabular defects. There are favorable survivorship, clinical, and radiographic outcomes, with a satisfactory complication rate.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to assess the survivorship and clinical outcomes of cup-cage reconstruction technique in the revision of THA. METHODS: PubMed, OVID, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) up to February 2020 were searched. Studies that reported the clinical and radiological follow-up were identified. RESULTS: A total of 151 hips (145 patients) in six studies were included. The all-cause revision-free survivorship of cup-cage implant at the end of follow-up was 90.1% (136/151), with a mean follow-up of 64.4 months(range 12-135). The overall complication rate was 23.8% (36 of 151 hips), of which component problem, dislocation, infection and sciatic nerve palsy/injury were relatively common. All included studies reported improved clinical outcomes at the end of follow-up. CONCLUSION: Results suggested that revision of THA with a cup-cage has a favourable implant survivorship and clinical outcomes for the treatment of pelvic discontinuity, despite the high complications occurrence rates.

Acetabular revisions with severe bone defects can be challenging procedures. Several grading systems have been set into place to help the surgeon adequately gauge the degree of bone loss within the acetabulum. Internationally innovative research in orthopedics and bio-engineering has helped with progression of successful techniques and rings to re-establish the normal anatomy of the hip. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the outcomes of the different acetabular reinforcement rings in the setting of severe acetabular defects. A successive report of relevant data from the literature of multiple techniques will be provided. The procedures include the cup-cage, the Müller ring, the Ganz Ring, the Kerboull acetabular reinforcement device (KARD), the graft augmentation prosthesis (GAP) ring, and the Burch-Schneider ring. The main focus of this overview is rings only; other devices such as trabecular augments, custom-made cages, or oblong cups are not discussed. Furthermore, a special emphasis on the surgical technique of the KARD is also given. Procedures using these rings are usually associated with bone grafts either bulk or morselized. When considering the available data on these various rings used for reconstruction of the severely damaged acetabulum, the cup-cage, the KARD, and the Burch-Schneider ring appear to be reliable options for more successful long-term outcomes.

INTRODUCTION: Acetabular revision surgery is a surgical challenge, especially when complex bone defects appear. This makes primary fixation and osseointegration of the implants difficult, which conditions the appearance of complications. Trabecular titanium implants attempt to solve these problems. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate our clinical-radiological results, the survival of the implants and the appearance of mid-term complications in acetabular revision surgery in a series of 37 acetabular replacements with Paprosky type IIIA and IIIB bone defects in which a trabecular titanium Cup-Cage revision implant was used. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We conducted an observational, descriptive and retrospective study of 37 cases with complex acetabular defects (20 type IIIA and 17 type IIIB, five of them with pelvic discontinuity) in which the acetabular component was replaced by trabecular titanium cups between 2011 and 2019. We analysed clinical results (pain and functionality) and radiological parameters (restoration of the hip rotation centre and the mobilisation of the implants), as well as the appearance of complications. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 61 months. We obtained a median improvement of 8 points on the Merlé D'Aubigné-Postel functionality scale and 6 points on the VAS scale of pain perceived by the patient. We recorded two cases of acetabular loosening, one case of dislocation and three surgical wound infections without affecting the implant. CONCLUSIONS: The use of trabecular titanium Cup-Cage implants could be a valid option in acetabular revision surgery with complex acetabular defects, presenting good clinical and radiological results and in terms of complications and survival of the implants, mainly due to their good primary fixation and subsequent osseointegration.

AIM: The aim of this study was to determine whether patients treated with a caged reconstruction for metastatic acetabular disease would have a construct survival superior to that of their life expectancy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We undertook a retrospective study, in a single centre in the United Kingdom, reviewing outcomes for 19 patients (20 hips) treated with a cage reconstruction for metastatic disease of their acetabulum over 6 years. Inclusion criteria were those with an impending fracture of the acetabulum, metastatic dissociation, fracture of the acetabulum and or femur and those whose life expectancy was considered by the oncology team to be >6 months. RESULTS: In all patients the Restoration GAP II acetabular cage (Stryker, Howmedica Osteonics Corp, NJ, USA) was used in conjunction with a cemented acetabular cup and cemented femoral stem. The mean age at the time of surgery was 68 (44-87) years with breast cancer being the most common primary malignancy (31%) followed by prostate cancer (26%).Radiological survivorship estimates were 94.1% (95% CI, 99.2-65.0) at 12 and 24 months, 70.6% (95% CI, 93.6-16.0) at 36 months and 35.3% (95% CI, 78.2-1.2) at 48 months. There were 3 radiological failures of the implant due to disease progression. Complications occurred in 3 patients with 2 developing deep infection which was treated with suppressive antibiotic therapy following aspiration of the hip. 1 patient suffered a hip dislocation following trauma which was successfully reduced closed and no further intervention was required. CONCLUSIONS: This study represents the first published case series of the use of the GAP II cage in patients with metastatic acetabular disease. The construct generally outlives the patient and hence is suitable for the treatment of acetabular metastases.

As surgeons' comfort with the direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty continues to increase, there is a growing interest in performing complex surgeries through this approach. Acetabular bone loss and/or pelvic discontinuity in the primary or revision setting often requires specialized implants such as a cup-cage construct. We describe our surgical technique for implanting modified cup-half cages through the DAA and show 2 case examples of how this technique was utilized in the setting of complex acetabular bone loss. In our experience, this is an effective method for complex total hip arthroplasty, with the potential added benefits of the DAA of reduced soft-tissue dissection, direct measurement of leg length, and ease of fluoroscopic navigation for implant positioning.
RESUMO
Our systematic review compiled multiple studies and evaluated survivorship and clinical outcomes of cup-cage construct usage in the management of massive acetabular bone defects. This systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Various combinations of "acetabular", "pelvis", "cup cage" and their corresponding synonyms were used to search relevant articles in the Cochrane, EMBASE, and PubMed databases. Basic information of the functional scores, implant revision rate, and complication rate were selected as outcomes for analysis. Finally, a total of 11 articles published between 1999 and 2019 were selected, which include 232 patients with an average age of 68.5 years (range, 30-90). The mean follow-up period was 48.85 months (range, 1-140). Our study shows that the cup-cage construct has a good clinical outcome with a low revision rate and a low complication rate. Improved clinical outcomes of cup-cage constructs were seen with a revision rate of 8% and an all-cause complication rate of 20%. The most commonly reported complication was dislocation, followed by aseptic loosening, infection, and nerve injuries. In summary, it is a promising method for managing large acetabular bone defects in total hip revision.

OBJECTIVE: Cup-cage reconstruction has emerged as a possible solution for managing massive acetabular defects with a few existing studies reporting encouraging results at mid-term follow-up. We present our experience with this unitised construct. METHOD: Six patients (7 hips) with a mean age of 76 years (73-81) were revised due to catastrophic aseptic failure of a primary cup implanted 10-19 years previously, having a Paprosky type 3B acetabular defect. RESULTS: At a mean follow-up of 72 months (63-140) no cases have required re-revision. Oxford Hip Scores improved from an average of 8 (1-17) preoperatively to an average of 36 (18-45) at the last follow-up. WOMAC scores preoperatively averaged 76 (49-96) and postoperatively averaged 26.5 points (0-69) at the last follow-up. SF-12 scores improved in both components. One patient showed non-progressive osteolysis around the ischial flange and one had less than 5â¯mm migration of the construct. One patient died of unrelated causes. CONCLUSION: Our study presents one of the longest follow-up of cup-cage construct and supports the previously reported good results; it encourages the use of this construct in reconstruction of massive acetabular defect, with or without pelvic discontinuity.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The acetabular reconstruction with massive acetabular defects and pelvic discontinuity is a complex surgery with important difficulties for the orthopaedic surgeon. The objective of this study is to show the short and midterm results of the acetabular revision with the Cup-Cage construct in a consecutive serie of cases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospectively we reviewed 22 consecutive patients with massive acetabular defects (8 Paprosky IIIa and 9 IIIB); 5 pelvic discontinuities; 2 pelvic fractures during the implantation of primary artroplasty, and one pelvic pseudoarthrosis. All were reoperated with a trabecular metal acetabular component and a Cup-Cage. We did clinical and radiological follow-up to detect machanical failures and loosening of the implant. RESULTS: With a middle follow-up of 45.06 months (12-73 months) we did not see any radiographic failure of the implant (component migration, osteolysis neither rupture of the implant or screws). The complications (13,63%) included one recurrent luxation, one infection and one recurrent subluxation. The Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score improved from 6.91 to 14.36 and the punctuation in the range of motion from 2.91 to 4.36 on average of the values preoperatively and postoperatively respectively and improvement in Harris Hip Score 30 (16-55) to 72 (40-90) in the latest follow up. CONCLUSION: The acetabular reconstruction with the Cup-Cage system is a valid alternative for the reconstruction of massive acetabular defects (Paprosky type IIIA and IIIB) and pelvic discontinuities offering good results at short and midterm follow-up.

PURPOSE: Cup-cage construct technique was developed to address the massive acetabular defects during revision hip arthroplasty. Indications have extended to complex acetabular fractures with pelvic discontinuity necessitating acute total hip arthroplasty. However, its use is constrained in low socioeconomic countries due to non-availability of the original cages from Trabecular Metal Acetabular Revision System and high cost. We used a novel technique using the less expensive Burch-Schneider (BS) cage and Trabecular Metal Revision Shell (TMRS) to address the problem. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed a consecutive series of 8 cases of acetabular fractures reconstructed using a 'cup-cage construct' technique using a BS cage along with a TMRS. The mean age of the patients was 61.4 years. Patients were followed up for a mean period of 50.5 months (24 to 72 months). The patients were assessed clinically with Harris Hip Score and radiologically with serial X-rays. RESULTS: All the patients were available at the latest follow up. The mean Harris Hip Score was 87.2. There was no radiological evidence of failure. One patient had dislocation two months following the surgery, which was treated by closed reduction and hip abduction brace. One patient developed an infection at 3 weeks necessitating debridement. The same patient had sciatic nerve palsy that recovered after 4 months. CONCLUSION: This novel technique of the cup-cage construct seems to provide a stable construct at short to midterm follow-up. However, a long-term follow up would be required.
RESUMO
AIMS: Severe acetabular bone loss and pelvic discontinuity (PD) present particular challenges in revision total hip arthroplasty. To deal with such complex situations, cup-cage reconstruction has emerged as an option for treating this situation. We aimed to examine our success in using this technique for these anatomical problems. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We undertook a retrospective, single-centre series of 35 hips in 34 patients (seven male, 27 female) treated with a cup-cage construct using a trabecular metal shell in conjunction with a titanium cage, for severe acetabular bone loss between 2011 and 2015. The mean age at the time of surgery was 70 years (42 to 85) and all patients had an acetabular defect graded as Paprosky Type 2C through to 3B, with 24 hips (69%) having PD. The mean follow-up was 47 months (25 to 84). RESULTS: The cumulative five-year survivorship of the implant with revision for any cause was 89% (95% confidence interval (CI) 72 to 96) with eight hips at risk. No revision was required for aseptic loosening; however, one patient with one hip (3%) required removal of the ischial flange of the cage due to sciatic nerve irritation. Two patients (6%; two hips) suffered from hip dislocation, whereas one patient (one hip) required revision surgery with cement fixation of a dual-mobility acetababular component into a well-fixed cup-cage construct. Two patients (6%; two hips) developed periprosthetic infection. One patient was successfully controlled with a two-stage revision surgery, while the other patient underwent excision arthroplasty due to severe medical comorbidities. For the whole series, the Harris Hip Score significantly improved from a mean of 30 (15 to 51) preoperatively to 71 (40 to 89) at the latest follow-up (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that cup-cage reconstruction is a viable option for major segmental bone defects involving the posterior column and PD. It allows adequate restoration of the acetabulum centre with generally good stability and satisfactory postoperative function. Instability and infection remain drawbacks in these challenging revision cases. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2018;100-B:1442-48.

An uncemented hemispherical acetabular component is the mainstay of acetabular revision and gives excellent long-term results. Occasionally, the degree of acetabular bone loss means that a hemispherical component will be unstable when sited in the correct anatomical location or there is minimal bleeding host bone left for biological fixation. On these occasions an alternative method of reconstruction has to be used. A major column structural allograft has been shown to restore the deficient bone stock to some degree, but it needs to be off-loaded with a reconstruction cage to prevent collapse of the graft. The use of porous metal augments is a promising method of overcoming some of the problems associated with structural allograft. If the defect is large, the augment needs to be protected by a cage to allow ingrowth to occur. Cup-cage reconstruction is an effective method of treating chronic pelvic discontinuity and large contained or uncontained bone defects. This paper presents the indications, surgical techniques and outcomes of various methods which use acetabular reconstruction cages for revision total hip arthroplasty.

The use of ilioischial cage reconstruction for pelvic discontinuity has been replaced by the Trabecular Metal (Zimmer, Warsaw, Indiana) cup-cage technique in our institution, due to the unsatisfactory outcome of using a cage alone in this situation. We report the outcome of 26 pelvic discontinuities in 24 patients (20 women and four men, mean age 65 years (44 to 84)) treated by the cup-cage technique at a mean follow-up of 82 months (12 to 113) and compared them with a series of 19 pelvic discontinuities in 19 patients (18 women and one man, mean age 70 years (42 to 86)) treated with a cage at a mean follow-up of 69 months (1 to 170). The clinical and radiological outcomes as well as the survivorship of the groups were compared. In all, four of the cup-cage group (15%) and 13 (68%) of the cage group failed due to septic or aseptic loosening. The seven-year survivorship was 87.2% (95% confidence interval (CI) 71 to 103) for the cup-cage group and 49.9% (95% CI 15 to 84) for the cage-alone group (p = 0.009). There were four major complications in the cup-cage group and nine in the cage group. Radiological union of the discontinuity was found in all successful cases in the cup-cage group and three of the successful cage cases. Three hips in the cup-cage group developed early radiological migration of the components, which stabilised with a successful outcome. Cup-cage reconstruction is a reliable technique for treating pelvic discontinuity in mid-term follow-up and is preferred to ilioischial cage reconstruction. If the continuity of the bone graft at the discontinuity site is not disrupted, early migration of the components does not necessarily result in failure.

The increasing number of total hip replacements in the younger clique has added to the demand for revision procedures. Revision situations are often encountered with infection, loss of bone stock and bone defects. There are various methods of reconstruction of acetabular defects. The management options of type 3B Paprosky acetabular defects are limited with allograft and conventional cages. Trabecular metal technology has evolved to address these bone defects. Trabecular metal acetabular revision system (TMARS) cup-cage construct is a new technique to address massive acetabular defects. We describe a case of failed hip reconstruction done for a Giant cell tumour of proximal femur managed by a two stage procedure, initial debridement and second stage reconstruction of acetabulum with TMARS cup-cage construct and femur with allograft prosthesis composite.
