Abstract:
Periprosthetic fracture of the acetabulum is an uncommon complication of total hip arthroplasty. The management is reported to be difficult, and complications such as nonunion and implant loosening are common. We described herein a case of nontraumatic periprosthetic acetabular fracture associated with significant osteolysis, which was successfully managed by addressing the fracture and osteolysis independently.
