There is evidence that recommends the retention of a well-fixed cement mantle at the time of revision hip arthroplasty. The cement-cement interface has been proven to have greater shear strength than a new bone-cement interface after removing a well-fixed cement mantle. This study reviewed a series of acetabular revision procedures with a minimum 2-year follow-up where the original cement mantle was left intact. From 1988 to 2004, 60 consecutive cement-in-cement revisions of the acetabular component were performed at our institution. Outcome was based on functional assessment using the Oxford, Charnley, and Harris scoring systems as well as radiographic analysis using the DeLee and Charnley criteria. In total 60 procedures were performed in 60 patients (40 female and 20 male), whose mean age at surgery was 75 years (range 40 to 99 years). 80% were performed for recurrent dislocation, 13.3% during femoral component revision, 5% for acetabular component wear, and 1.7% for pain. No case was lost to follow-up. There was one re-revision for aseptic cup loosening at 7 years, with 1 further case of radiological loosening identified at the latest review. There were 6 further cases of dislocation 4 of which were treated with further in-cement revisions. All other cases showed well-fixed components on radiographic analysis and no evidence of failure at the most recent follow up. The cement-in-cement technique already has a good body of evidence based on revision of the femoral component and this study shows that the technique can be applied to acetabular revisions as well with good functional and radiological results in the short to medium term.
