Acute total hip arthroplasty in acetabular fractures using modern porous metal cup.

CONCLUSION: The current study showed that the modern porous metal cup provides sufficient primary stability and appear suitable for primary THA in acute acetabular fractures at mid-term follow-up: (i) In selected fractures, acute THA can be extended to young adult patients as well. (ii) Modern porous metal cup may provide sufficient stability with or without additional fixation required. PMID: 31221006 [PubMed - in process]
