Comparative Study with and without the Use of 3D Prototyping of an Unconventional Technique in the Surgical Planning of Revision of Total Hip Arthroplasty* * Study performed at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Service of Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre and at Universidade Federal de Ciências da Saúde de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Abstract

This article presents a comparison between two cases in which there was a need for revision of total hip arthroplasty due to aseptic acetabular failure. We used 3D prototyping in one of the cases to perform an unconventional technique of molding synthesis material before the procedure to evaluate the time saved in the transoperative period in complex cases.
