• This gives specific, CT-verified displacement targets (5 mm gap, 1 mm step) rather than relying solely on the traditional "greatest displacement" concept, which treats gap and step as equivalent. • The finding that step displacement is tolerated less than gap displacement (1 mm vs. 5 mm) has direct implications for judging adequacy of reduction, particularly in younger patients where step — not gap — was the dominant independent predictor of failure. • Age ≥50 years emerged as a strong independent risk factor for THA conversion, reinforcing that residual displacement tolerance may need to be considered alongside patient age when counseling on prognosis after acetabular fracture fixation.
