Acute total hip replacement of acetabular fractures with cementless modular revision cups in patients older than 55 years: a retrospective cohort study
According to our treatment algorithm, acute total hip replacement using a modular revision cup with an iliac peg, with or without plate osteosynthesis, offers the advantage of early full weight-bearing and promising functional outcomes in the management of complex acetabular fractures. These results support the integration of acute total hip replacement into structured decision-making protocols especially for elderly patients.
