Figure 1 Anteroposterior radiograph of the pelvis showing a right acetabular fracture with anteromedial dome impaction.
Figure 2 Surgical treatment of post-traumatic hip osteoarthritis after displaced acetabular fracture.
A: Preoperative anteroposterior radiograph showing a left acetabular fracture in a 90-year-old patient. The patient did not follow the non-weight bearing instructions and developed symptomatic hip arthritis 5 months post-injury; B: Immediate postoperative radiograph. Autograft from the femoral head was taken to address the cavitary acetabular defect. A dual mobility cup was used for the reconstruction of the acetabulum.
