Abstract
We report the case of an 86-year-old female patient who sustained a complex acetabular fracture involving the anterior column and posterior hemitrasverse fracture with protrusion of the femoral head. She was treated in a single-stage procedure with a cup-cage construct and a cemented dual-mobility acetabular component. Early rehabilitation and progressive weight-bearing were implemented, resulting in functional recovery. At six months postoperatively, the patient ambulated with a cane and had a modified Harris Hip Score of 58.
