Popis: Abstract Background In revision surgery with significant segmental acetabular defects, adequate implant selection and fixation methods are critical in determining successful bony ingrowth. Commercially available total hip prosthesis manufacturers generally offer additional multi-hole options of acetabular shells with identical designs for use in revision THAs where screw holes configurations vary from product to product. This study aims to compare the mechanical stability of the two types of acetabular screw constructs for the fixation of acetabular components: spread-out and pelvic brim-focused configurations. Methods We prepared 40 synthetic bone models of the male pelvis. In half of the samples with acetabular defects, identical curvilinear bone defects were manually created using an oscillating electrical saw. On the right side, multi-hole-cups in which the direction of the screw holes are centered on the pelvic brim (brim-focused) and, on the left side, multi-hole-cups with the direction of the screw hole spread throughout the acetabulum (spread-out) were implanted into the pelvic synthetic bones. Coronal lever-out and axial torsion tests were performed with a testing machine, measuring load versus displacement. Results The average torsional strengths were significantly higher in the spread-out group over the brim-focused group regardless of the presence of the segmental defect of the acetabulum (p
