    BackgroundSeveral techniques have been described for management of severe acetabular bone defects during revision hip surgery including reconstructive cages. The purpose of this study is to analyze the survival and the mid-term clinical and radiological outcome using the Graft Augmentation Prosthesis (GAP II cage) (Stryker Orthopaedics, Mahwah, NJ) in addition to impaction grafting for acetabular defects in revision hip surgery.MethodsThis is a retrospective review of all patients who underwent acetabular revision hip replacement using GAP II cage and impaction bone grafting between 2009 and 2013 at our institution. Twenty-six patients were included with a mean age of 71 years (49-91). According to Paprosky classification, 2 patients had type IIB defect, 4 had type IIC, and 12 had type IIIA, while 8 suffered from type IIIB defect. The clinical outcome was assessed using Oxford Hip Score. Plain radiographs were used to assess preoperative bone loss, postoperative implant migration, and the incorporation of the bone graft to host bone.ResultsThe average Oxford Hip Score improved from 11.3 (2-22) preoperatively to 32.2 (20-48) postoperatively. The revision free survivorship of this construct was 100% at mean follow-up of 49 months (30-78). Three hips had radiological failure of the implant with no clinical consequences.ConclusionThe use of GAP II cage with impaction bone grafting to reconstruct severe acetabular defects had encouraging mid-term results with low failure rate. Graft incorporation with restoration of bone stock may be beneficial should further revision surgery be needed.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
