Abstract:
Acetabular fractures in older patients are challenging to manage. The "fix and replace" construct may present a new paradigm for the management of these injuries. We present the current challenge of acetabular fractures in older patients. We present this in the context of the current literature. This invited editorial presents early results from our centre and the ongoing challenges are discussed.
