We present a case of a traumatic, high-energy periprosthetic T-Type acetabular fracture
without dislocation of the components of the arthroplasty, treated by an acute one-stage
revision arthroplasty. To our knowledge, there have been no published cases with this
type of injury pattern and this management algorithm.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
