A Constrained Liner Cemented into a Secure Cementless Acetabular Shell

Abstract

A constrained tripolar liner cemented into a secure, well-positioned cementless acetabular shell provides stability and durability at short-term follow-up. Careful attention to the preparation of the liner, the sizing of the component, and the cementing technique are likely to reduce the failure of this construct, which can be used for difficult cases of total hip instability.
