There have been many advances in the treatment of acetabular fractures; however, the role of total hip arthroplasty (THA) as part of acute fracture management is not well-defined. The indications to acutely manage an acetabular fracture with THA include patients who were older than 65 years of age, who had extensive intra-articular comminution, impaction of the acetabular dome, a displaced-impacted femoral neck fracture, presented with severe osteopenia or osteoporosis, or preexisting osteoarthritis. Implant survivorship and clinical outcomes were favorable with low complications when managing an acetabular fracture with THA. THA may be an effective option for treating acetabular fractures in appropriately selected patients. DOI: 10.1586/17434440.2015.1009828
