• Provides long-term outcome data (mean 8.1 years) supporting acute THA as a viable option in carefully selected acetabular fracture patients with features predicting poor results from ORIF alone, such as extensive articular impaction or cartilage loss. • Demonstrates that early radiographic cup subsidence does not necessarily predict late loosening—useful reassurance when counseling patients about initial postoperative migration. • Reinforces that these are technically demanding cases best handled by surgeons experienced in both acetabular trauma and reconstructive arthroplasty, informing referral and case-selection decisions.
