Abstract
Intraoperative periprosthetic acetabular fracture (IPPAF) during primary total hip arthroplasty (pTHA) is a challenging complication because of lack of knowledge on typical intraoperative manifestation, poor recognition, and bad treatment outcomes. Intraoperative identification and proper management of fractures can decrease the failure rate of acetabular components. Intraoperative fracture manifestation has been described rarely in the literature to date. We present a case of IPPAF during pTHA, in which a functional hip was successfully saved using non-operative treatment. A review of the relevant literature is also included in this report.
