Abstract
Periprosthetic acetabular fractures-during and after total hip replacement occur infrequently. Intraoperative fractures have risen with the use of pre ss fit cementless fixation techniques and postoperative fractures are incre asing because of the long-term problems associated with osteolysis. This ar ticle outlines the classification and management of these fractures.
