Abstract

Rings and cages are implants used in revision THA when the remaining bone stock is deficient. They span the bone defect and act as a scaffold while protecting morcellized or structural allograft during the bone remodeling phase [1]. The use of cages has been reduced over time following mechanical failure of cages and the introduction of newer techniques of trabecular metal components [1].
