Objective:
To report repair of a periprosthetic acetabular fracture with concurrent component displacement after cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Study Design:
Clinical case report.
Animals:
Dog (n=1) with an acetabular fracture after THA.
Methods:
Acetabular repair was performed on a highly comminuted periprosthetic acetabular fracture after cementless THA. A bulk, structural corticocancellous autograft from the ipsilateral ilial wing was used for repair and reconstruction of the dorsal acetabular wall before reimplantation of a cementless acetabular component.
Results:
Repair of a periprosthetic acetabular fracture with a bulk structural autograft was successful in reconstruction of the dorsal acetabular wall and in reestablishing a stable, functional cementless THA acetabular prosthesis.
Conclusions:
Structural corticocancellous autografts from the ilium can be successfully used in repair of periprosthetic acetabular fractures after THA.
Clinical Relevance:
Structural corticocancellous grafting from the ilium can be considered as a treatment option for repair of periprosthetic acetabular fractures after THA.
