Abstract EN
Intraoperative acetabular fracture is a rare complication of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), typically occurring during impaction of the cementless acetabular component.
Here we report an unusual case of pelvic discontinuity caused by overreaming of the acetabulum during primary THA.
Restoration of posterior columnar continuity was achieved with an autologous fibular graft and a reconstruction plate.
Wall defects and cavitary defects were reconstructed with metal mesh and femoral head allograft, followed by placement and fixation of a Kerboull-type acetabular reinforcement device.
Previous reports of acetabular fracture during THA have indicated that it has a relatively good prognosis without extensive treatment.
However, to our knowledge, there has been no report of pelvic discontinuity necessitating acetabular reconstruction surgery as an intraoperative complication of primary THA.
