Understanding the Types of Hip Replacement Cup
When patients visit me from Indore, Bhopal, or Ujjain, one common question they ask is about the types of hip replacement cup used during surgery. The acetabular cup is the socket part of the artificial hip joint that replaces the damaged cartilage in arthritis or fracture cases.
Choosing the right cup is important because it affects stability, long-term fixation, and overall recovery. Therefore, understanding the available options helps patients feel more confident before surgery.

1. Porous Acetabular Cup
A porous cup has a rough, sponge-like surface. This special design allows natural bone to grow into the cup over time. As a result, the implant becomes biologically fixed to the bone.
This type is commonly used in younger or active patients where strong long-term fixation is required. Moreover, it reduces the risk of loosening when properly implanted.
2. New 3D Printed Acetabular Cup
The latest advancement is the 3D printed cup. It is manufactured using advanced technology that creates a highly porous and bone-friendly structure.
Because of its precise design, it matches bone anatomy better and encourages faster bone integration. In complex cases, especially revision surgeries, 3D cups can provide improved stability and better outcomes.
Which Cup is Better?
The answer depends on bone quality, age, activity level, and medical condition. During consultation, I carefully evaluate X-rays and clinical findings before recommending the most suitable option.
