Periprosthetic fractures of the acetabulum

J J Callaghan et al. Orthop Clin North Am. 1999 Apr.

Abstract

Periprosthetic acetabular fractures during and after total hip replacement occur infrequently. Intraoperative fractures have risen with the use of press fit cementless fixation techniques and postoperative fractures are increasing because of the long-term problems associated with osteolysis. This article outlines the classification and management of these fractures.
