N2 - We reviewed 263 consecutive patients with failed acetabular components after total hip arthroplasty that were revised using porous tantalum acetabular components and augments when necessary. The mean follow-up was 73.6 months (range, 60-84 months). The improvement of mean Harris hip score, Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index, and University of California Los Angeles activity scales were statistically significant (P < .001). Subjective assessments showed that 87.3% of patients reported "improvement" and 85.9% were "very or fairly pleased" with the results. At the most recent follow-up, all acetabular components were radiographically stable and none required rerevision for loosening. The acetabular revision was considered successful in 87% of cases. From this study, we conclude that the acetabular component used was reliable in creating a durable composite without failure for a minimum of 5 years. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
