## Abstract

The following case report aims to demonstrate a total hip arthroplasty revision surgery (THARS) using a custom-made trabecular metal acetabular component for correction of a severe acetabular defect. Currently, in the literature, there are few complete descriptions of surgical planning and procedures involving customized prostheses. This is due to the inherent technical difficulty of the surgical procedure and the high costs related to the planning and materials.

O seguinte relato de caso tem como objetivo demonstrar uma cirurgia de revisão de artroplastia total do quadril (RATQ) com o uso de componente acetabular customizado de metal trabeculado para correção de defeito acetabular severo. Atualmente, na literatura existem poucas descrições completas do planejamento e procedimentos cirúrgicos envolvendo próteses customizadas, tanto pela dificuldade técnica, inerente ao ato cirúrgico, quanto devido aos altos custos relacionados ao planejamento e materiais.
