Twenty total hip arthroplasty were performed with use of a cementless cup in 17
patients and cemented cup in a cage in 3 patients for the treatment of posttraumatic
osteoarthritis following acetabular fracture. The average age of the 4 women and 16
men was 49 (range, 26 to 86 years) at the time of the arthroplasty. The median
interval between the time of injury and the total hip arthroplasty was 37 months
(range, 8 to 144 months). The average operative time was 120 minutes and average
intraoperative blood loss was 700 ml. Eight patients had previous open reduction and
internal fixation of the acetabular fracture and twelve had been treated
nonoperatively. Following total hip replacement, each patient was evaluated clinically
and radiographically at six weeks, three months, six months and twelve months, and
then yearly following total hip replacement. The average duration of clinical and
radiographic follow-up was 40 months (range, 26 to 60 months). At the time of final
follow-up, of twenty acetabular components, 10 had no evidence of periacetabular
radiolucency, 7 components had a partial radiolucency that was
