Constructs of multi-hole acetabular cups with the spread-out screw holes configuration exhibited statistically better axial torsional strength and coronal lever-out strength. With the presence of posterior segmental bone defects, the spread-out constructs demonstrated significantly better tolerance to axial torsional strength. Still, they exhibited inverted results of higher lever-out strength in the pelvic brim-focused constructs.
