Review Meta Analysis
Survivorship and Clinical Outcomes of Custom Triflange Acetabular Components in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review.
Several studies have evaluated the survivorship and clinical outcomes of custom triflange acetabular component (CTAC) usage in complex acetabular revision; however, there remains no consensus on the overall performance of this custom implant design. We therefore performed a systematic review of the literature in order to examine survivorship and complication rate of CTAC usage. ⋯ Based on the current data, CTACs have a high complication rate but remain an efficacious treatment option in complex acetabular reconstructions. When dealing with patients with significant acetabular bone loss for revision total hip arthroplasty, surgeons should continue to consider CTACs as a viable option but educate patients as to the increased risk of postoperative complications and reoperations.
