The jumbo cup: Easiest and safest solution

Jumbo cups can be used to address many acetabular revision cases with bone loss. The technique of implantation is relatively straight forward, and there is the potential to maximize bone-to-cup surface area, approximate the natural hip center, and to obtain a construct that allows immediate weight bearing. Experience from multiple sources has demonstrated survivorship up to 83% at 20 years, limited mostly by the wear of conventional polyethylene. A contraindication to this method is irradiated bone and a limitation is restoration of peripheral acetabular bone stock, which could compromise further revision surgery.
