Introduction: Revision total hip arthroplasty in the setting of acetabular bone loss remains a challenging clinical entity. Deficiencies of the acetabular rim, walls, and/or columns may limit the bony surface area and initial acetabular construct stability necessary for osseointegration of cementless components. Press-fit acetabular components with supplemental acetabular screw fixation represent a common technique aimed to minimize implant micromotion and allow for definitive osseointegration. Although acetabular screw fixation is commonly practiced in revision hip arthroplasty, few studies to date have examined the screw properties associated with maximal acetabular construct stability. The purpose of the present report is to examine acetabular screw fixation in a pelvis model mimicking Paprosky IIB acetabular bone loss.Methods: Measuring bone-implant interface micromotion as a surrogate for initial implant stability, experimental models assessed the effect of screw number, screw length, and screw position on construct stability subject to a cyclic loading protocol designed to replicate joint reaction forces of two common daily activities.Results: Trends towards increasing stability were demonstrated with increasing screw number, increasing screw length, and concentrating screws in the supra-acetabular dome. All experimental constructs yielded micromotion levels sufficient for bone ingrowth, except when screws in the dome were moved to the pubis and ischium.Conclusions: When using a porous coated revision acetabular implant to treat Paprosky IIB defects, screws should be used, and furthermore, increasing number, length, and position within the acetabular dome may help further stabilize the construct.
