Thirty-four hips of 33 patients who underwent revision THA from September 1998 to August 2002 and who could be followed up for one year or more were enrolled in the study. There were six men seven hips and 27 female 27 hips, and mean age was 73 years. In AAOS classification, Type 2 was eight hips and Type 3 was 26 hips. The average full weight bearing time was 8 days. Only one hip was movement of acetabular component and required re-operation. Initial fixation in acetabular enabled early full weight bearing and early social rehabilitation.
