We have developed a block of glass-ceramic to augment the dysplastic acetabulum. 3 patients with acetabular dysplasia underwent implantation of a block of glass-ceramic on the lateral surface of the ilium just above the hip joint. The patients did not require immobilization and returned to their daily lives, walking without a cane 4 weeks after the operation. The mean Harris hip score was 47 points preoperatively and 94 points 3 years postoperatively.Downloads
