The records of 18 patients with periacetabular tumors who underwent composite reconstruction of the hip
following resection of periacetabular tumors were analyzed retrospectively. The mean follow-up period
was 49.4 months (range, 28100 months). During follow-up, 3 patients died and one had recurrence.
Fifteen patients achieved favorable walking function; 8 had normal hip function and 7 had partial recovery
of exion function of the hip. The mean MSTS rating for hip function was 76.9%. Two patients had common
peroneal nerve injury which was resolved in one of them. Middle-term follow-up showed that composite
reconstruction of the hip following resection of periacetabular tumors can effectively remove tumors and
provide favorable hip function for these patients. This approach is simple and less costly, and can be
widely used.

preservation of proper functions. Post-operative pathological examination conrmed the diagnosis of periacetabular tumors. Patients were
not treated surgically if 1) the tumors extensively invaded the soft
tissues, major blood vessels, or nerves in the pelvis; or 2) their general
condition was too poor to undergo surgery.
(6) The femoral head was removed, and then the body and stem of the
femoral head prosthesis (prepared with bone cement) were inserted
into the proximal femur (Fig. 8). Manual reduction of the hip
prosthesis was carried out and the reconstruction was completed.
Postoperative Treatment Plan
Surgical Procedures
After complete removal of periacetabular tumors (Fig. 1), the
following procedures were carried out for reconstruction: (1) At least
four cancellous bone screws (6 mm in diameter and 610 cm in
length) were inserted into the residual ilium, residual pubis, and
ischiadic ramus in different directions, respectively. The screw shanks
were left about 23 cm in the space previously occupied by the
resected acetabulum. The number of screws depended on the size of
the resected periacetabular tumor (Fig. 2). Sometimes we had to
insert more than four screws because the purpose of the these screws
was not only to make sure the position of the prosthesis was
maintained but also to provide stability for the prosthesis. (2) The
next step was to place a test model of the prosthesis to adjust the
direction of the screws and decide on the nal position of the
prosthesis (Fig. 3). Additionally, we had to make sure that the tips of
the screws were in contact with the top of the prosthesis. (3) The next
step was to use a reconstruction plate to connect the residual ilium,
residual pubis, and ischiadic ramus (Figs. 4 and 5). This step was not
denitely necessary and was determined by the size of the resected
acetabular tumor. If the distance between the residual ilium, pubis
and ischium was too far and these residual bones were too small, then
the plate was necessary. Otherwise, inserting more screws could also
maintain plate stability. This was the case for the patient in Fig. 6 who
received more than four screws and no plate was used. (4) Next, wires
(1 mm in diameter) were wound around the reconstruction plate and
the xing screws. (5) The acetabular prosthesis, reconstruction plate,
and screws were integrated by bone cement, which was applied to
reconstruct the resected acetabulum and its surrounding area (Fig. 7).

extension of the hip and 7 patients had mean exion of the hip of
0100 degrees (Fig. 6). Although some patients had a 15 degree
difference of exion in the operated hip compared with the opposite
normal hip, this had no effect on hip function or daily activity.
