ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the operative indications and operative methods of primary total hip arthroplasty for acetabular fracture and to observe the clinical curative effect.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We retrospectively summarized and analyzed the traumatic conditions, fracture types, complications, operative time, operative techniques, and short term curative effect of 11 patients (10 males and 1 female, with a mean age of 42.4 years) with acetabular fracture who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The patients were followed up for 6-45 months (mean=28 months). Their average Harris score of postoperative hip joint was 78.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Under strict mastery of indications, patients with acetabular fracture may undergo primary total hip arthroplasty, but stable acetabular components should be made.</p>
