In three patients, the dome technique allowed for the anterosuperior column to be recreated by piecing together two porous metal augments to fill the medial bony void and create a stable column for a jumbo cup to be press fit. By recreating the deficient anterosuperior medial bone, the acetabulum can be downsized in a stepwise manner (with further surgery) and reconstructed in a stable fashion. This novel procedure is a unique option for the treatment of this challenging problem.
