A case of a 65-year-old man (patient No. 12) with absence of gluteus medius (grade 0) and Paprosky IIIA acetabular bone defect at second-stage re-implantation, in which CAL and augment were used to reconstruct the bone defect. a Preoperative anteroposterior (AP) radiograph showing Paprosky IIIA acetabular bone defect and dislocation of the affected hip, b intraoperative finding of gluteus medius absence and a large bone defect on the top and posterior aspect of the acetabulum, c postoperative AP radiograph at Day 1, and d postoperative AP radiograph at 71 months showing acetabular radiolucent lines presenting at zone 2 and 3, and acetabular components remaining stable.
