Abstract
Titanium-based highly-porous metal cups have been introduced as a relatively new alternative for enhanced acetabular fixation during revision THA; limited number of studies have evaluated its outcomes. We aimed to assess the clinical, functional, and patient-reported outcomes following the use of new generation highly-porous titanium acetabular implants in the revision setting. Seventy-one revisions were (1:1) matched to a conventional porous-coated cohort and were followed-up clinically and radiographically for at least 2-years. Non-significant differences in overall aseptic-survivorship were found across all types of acetabular defects comparing both cohorts (P = 0.3). The overall HHS, UCLA, and SF-36 scores were similar between both cohorts. It remains to be seen if the great potential for enhanced osseointegration translates into improved long-term survivorship compared to conventional-porous devices.
