Acetabular reinforcement ring with additional hook improves stability in three-dimensional finite element analyses of dysplastic hip arthroplasty

Abstract Background The stability of acetabulum reconstructions using reinforcement rings and hooks is important for successful replacement surgery. The objective of this study was to biomechanically determine the effects of the hook on stress and the related micromotions of the acetabular reinforce...
