Objective To review research progress on the design, manufacturing, and clinical application of three-dimensional (3D) printed customized prosthesis in acetabular reconstruction of hip revision surgery. Methods The related research literature on 3D printed customized prosthesis and its application in acetabular reconstruction of hip revision surgery was searched by key words of “3D printed customized prosthesis”, “revision hip arthroplasty”, “acetabular bone defect”, and “acetabular reconstruction” between January 2013 and May 2024 in Chinese and English databases, such as CNKI, Wanfang database, PubMed, etc. A total of 34 271 articles were included. After reading the literature titles, abstracts, or full texts, the literature of unrelated, repetitive, low-quality, and low evidence level was screened out, and a total of 48 articles were finally included for analysis and summary. Results The bone growth and mechanical properties of 3D printed customized prosthesis materials are better than those of non-3D printed customized prosthesis, which further solves the problem of elastic modulus mismatch between the implant and natural bone caused by “stress shielding”; the porous structure and antibacterial coating on the surface of 3D printed customized prosthesis have good anti-bacterial effect. 3D printed customized prosthesis can perfectly match the patient’s individual acetabular anatomical characteristics and defect type, thus improving the accuracy of acetabular reconstruction and reducing the surgical time and trauma. Conclusion 3D printed customized prosthesis can be used for precise and efficient individualized acetabular reconstruction in hip revision surgery with good early- and mid-term effectiveness. More optimized production technics and procedures need to be developed to improve the efficiency of clinical application and long-term effectiveness.
