A, Image thresholding was performed by using software, which allowed for bone to be differentiated from surrounding soft tissue based on bone and soft tissue densities on the CT scan; B, Using the region growing process, both femurs were digitally segmented from their corresponding pelvis. The red pelvis will be retained, while the purple femurs will be removed; C, Once both femurs were erased, the 3D isolated image of pelvis (namely, the anatomy of interest) was created; D, The final life‐size 3D‐printed pelvis model, providing the surgeon with visual and tactile appreciation of the defects; E, Acetabular cup, augment, and buttress sizes, as well as cage dimensions were selected and trialed in preoperative surgical stimulation using a 3D‐printed pelvis; F, Postoperative anteroposterior pelvic plain film radiographs showed satisfactory revision total hip arthroplasty in situ
