The treatment of severe acetabular bone loss with associated pelvic discontinuity in revision total hip
arthroplasty: Introduction of a novel technique
As the number of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures performed continues to rise, the burden of revision THA
procedures is also expected to increase. With patients undergoing THA at younger ages and living longer, revision patients
are presenting with greater bone loss at the time of revision surgery. The proper evaluation and treatment of acetabular bone
loss at the time of revision surgery will be a complex challenge faced by orthopaedic surgeons. Proper pre-operative patient
assessment in conjunction with detailed pre-operative planning is essential for obtaining a good clinical result. Appropriate
radiographs are critical in assessing acetabular bone loss, and specific classification schemes can identify bone loss patterns
and guide available treatment options. The presentation reviews the surgical decision making and clinical results of different
surgical options for the treatment of acetabular bone loss.

Biography
Neil P Sheth is an Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering with a
minor in Finance at the University of Pennsylvania. Then, he spent two years on Wall Street as a FinancialAnalyst in Solomon Smith Barney's Healthcare Investment Bank-
ing division prior to attending Medical School at the Albany Medical College. Following medical school, he has completed six-year Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at the
Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Following residency, he completed an adult hip and knee reconstruction fellowship at Rush University as well as a three-month
mini-fellowship at the Endo Klinik in Hamburg, Germany focusing on peri-prosthetic infection. He has now returned to join the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania
and focuses his research on acetabular bone loss pertaining to revision total hip arthroplasty, peri-prosthetic infection and the role of orthopaedic surgery in global health.
