| Summary: | Classically, patients with advanced lytic disease of the acetabulum secondary to metastatic bone disease are treated with complex arthroplasty reconstruction techniques. Advancements in percutaneous techniques have extended the indications for safer, minimally invasive procedures for patients with periacetabular metastasis without the need for complex hip replacement and the complications that follow it. The purpose of this report is to revisit the management of this group of patients and provide indications for an alternative minimally invasive joint-sparing technique. We describe a novel technique using a combination of percutaneous cryoablation, cementoplasty and two-screw fixation. With careful consideration of indications, excellent functional and oncologic outcomes one year after surgery is possible without the need for additional procedures.
