Abstract

Introduction: Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is standard care for most acetabular fractures. With increasing numbers of acetabular fractures in the elderly, the risk of revision surgery and conversion to total hip replacement (THR) is increasing. Alarmingly, about 20–25% of acetabular fractures in the elderly following ORIF needed revision and conversion to delayed THR.
