• Provides a common language for describing acetabular bone loss, which is essential for surgical planning, choosing fixation/graft strategies, and communicating findings between surgeons. • Distinguishing segmental from cavitary (and combined) defects has direct implications for whether structural graft, particulate graft, augments, or cages/cups with specific fixation strategies are considered, even though this abstract does not detail specific treatment outcomes. • Recognizing pelvic discontinuity as its own category highlights a defect pattern that carries distinct biomechanical and reconstructive challenges compared to simple bone loss.
