• Provides outcome data for a clinical scenario with limited prior evidence—what to expect functionally when acetabular fracture fixation fails and THA becomes necessary. • Helps set realistic patient expectations: even a well-executed conversion THA in this population does not restore function to the level seen with primary THA for osteoarthritis. • Identifying associated both-column and posterior column/posterior wall patterns as common precursors to conversion may inform counseling on fracture patterns at higher risk of poor long-term joint outcomes in elderly patients.
