- Surgical Technique:
    - preoperative planning:
           - acetabular biomechanics:
           - operative considerations for hip dyplasia
           - protrusio
           - types of components:
                  - press fit components:
                  - cemented acetabular component: 
                  - acetabular component revision 
           - clinical exam:
                  - note the amount of standing lordosis and the amount of hip abduction;
                  - adduction contracture may cause pelvis to tilt downward which might over-estimate hip abduction;
    - acetabular exposure:
           - if exposure is not optimal, then consider trochanteric osteotomy;
    - re-establish anatomy of the acetabular floor:
    - reaming technique:
    - component insertion: (press fit components)
    - component position: (anteversion and inclination)
    - screw placement:
    - poly insertion
    - bone grafting for acetabular defects: 
    - complications:
           - acetabular fracture:
                  - acetabuli should not be underreamed by more than 1 mm, especially in osteoporotic bone;
                  - underreaming of the acetabulum by two milimeters may result in frx in 20-25% of cases;
                  - when intra-operative frx is recognized intra-op, then augment component with as many acetabular screws as possible;

           - acetabular component loosening: 
           - screw insertion injuries;
           - osteolysis
           - protrusio: 
           - dislocation

                         - Are cementless acetabular components the cause of excess wear and osteolysis in total hip arthroplasty?
