Modified Harrington Procedure for Acetabular Insuficiency Due to Metastatic Malignant Disease
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Extensive peri-acetabular osteolysis caused by malignant disease process is a major surgical challenge as conventional hip arthroplasty is not adequate. We describe a modified use of the Harrington procedure for acetabular insufficiency secondary to metastatic disease in twelve patients. The procedures include application of multiple threaded pins to bridge the acetabular columns, anti-protrusio cage and cemented acetabular cup. Eleven patients were able to walk pain free and achieved a mean Musculoskeletal Tumour Society Functional Score of 80 (range, 68 to 86).
