Management of Periprosthetic Acetabular Fractures: A Critical Analysis and Review of the Literature

Abstract

➢: Periprosthetic acetabular fractures are uncommon and infrequently the focus of studies.

➢: Acetabular fractures are occasionally recognized postoperatively when patients report unremitting groin pain weeks after surgery.

➢: The widespread use of cementless acetabular cups might lead to a higher number of fractures than are clinically detectable.

➢: Appropriate recognition, including mindfulness of preoperative patient and surgical risk factors, is critical to the successful management of acetabular complications.
