• Gives trainees a framework for recognizing pelvic discontinuity on plain radiographs — a diagnosis that is easy to miss but changes the entire reconstructive plan. • Identifies female sex and rheumatoid arthritis as risk factors, which should raise suspicion for discontinuity when planning revision surgery in these populations. • Demonstrates that outcomes are directly tied to the severity of bone loss, reinforcing that reconstructive strategy (cementless socket with posterior column plating versus bone graft protected by an antiprotrusion cage) should be tailored to the degree of segmental/cavitary defect rather than applied uniformly.
