A novel screw-and-cement pile technique for Harrington II/III periacetabular lesions: technical note and short-term outcomes

In short-term follow-up, the screw-and-cement pile technique for Harrington II/III acetabular defects provided rapid pain relief and functional improvement without early complications. Featuring a simple approach and low-cost implants, it is a viable palliative option for achieving immediate stability and symptom control. Longer-term studies are warranted to evaluate its durability.
