Early Osseointegration and Lower Loosening Rates With Trabecular Metal Revision Cups in Acetabular Bone Loss: A Comparative Cohort Study
In revision THA for Paprosky IIC-III acetabular defects, TM cups demonstrated markedly higher rates of early osseointegration and lower radiographic loosening at 12 months compared with conventional revision cups. These findings support the preferential use of TM technology in cases of advanced acetabular bone loss, where biological fixation is critical for long-term stability.
