Acetabular revision in total hip replacement with a press-fit cup.

The need for supplementary screw fixation in acetabular revisions is still widely debated. We carried out 439 acetabular revisions over an eight-year period. In 171 hips with contained or small segmental defects, the Morscher press-fit cup was used. These revisions were followed prospectively. No screws were used for additional fixation. A total of 123 hips with a mean follow-up of 7.4 years (5 to 10.5) were available for clinical and radiological review. There was no further revision of a press-fit cup for aseptic loosening. Radiological assessment revealed osteolysis in three hips. Of the original 171 hips there was cranial and medial migration of up to 6 mm at two years in 44 (26%). No further migration was seen after the second post-operative year. Acetabular revision without screws is possible with excellent medium-term results in well selected patients.
