scenarios where the extent of bone loss precludes shell placement (cup-cage), reconstruction at our center consisted of a cage
combined with highly porous metal augments. This study evaluates survivorship, complications, and functional outcomes using
this technique. Methods: A total of 131 cup-cage implants (129 patients) were included in our retrospective review of revisions
of total hip arthroplasty from January 2003 to January 2022. Among these cases, 100/131 (76.3%) were women, the mean age
at surgery time was 68.7 years (range, 29.0 to 92.0; 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: A total of 30 implants (23%) reached the study endpoint involving all-cause revision. Overall
survivorship was 74.8% at 10 years and 69.8% at 15 years. Reasons for revision included infection 12/131 (9.1%), dislocation
10/131 (7.6%), aseptic loosening of cup and/or cage 5/131 (3.8%), and aseptic loosening of the femoral stem 2/131 (1.5%). The
mean LLD improved from 12.2 ± 15.9 mm to 3.9 ± 11.8 (p<0.05). The horizontal and vertical hip centres on plain film
radiographs were significantly improved (p<0.05). Functionally, there was a decrease in the number of patients requiring the
use of gait aids, with fewer patients (34, 25.9%) using a cane, walker, or wheelchair post-operatively compared to pre-
operatively (58, 44%). There was a significant increase in the number of independent ambulators from 24 to 47 (36%).
Conclusion: The cup-cage construct is a reliable treatment option for the treatment of various acetabular defects. There are
favourable survivorship, clinical and radiographic outcomes, with a satisfactory complication rate.
