  ABSTRACT: Acetabular component revision in the presence of severe bone loss is difficult for reconstructing an acetabular component in the anatomical hip center. Various treatment options are available, although often the acetabular defect cannot be corrected with a single option alone. Precise assessment of the bone loss and a suitable combination of methods are needed. Here we report a case of multiple failures with impaction bone grafting reconstruction for an acetabular bone defect of American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons classification type III. We finally reconstructed the acetabulum with three femoral head allografts and a Kerboull-type acetabular reinforcement device. The allograft was a casted, jet-type helmet-like shape. A year later the patient was able to walk without a cane and perform light agricultural work. Accurate evaluation of the acetabular bone loss and appropriate reconstruction is important.
