Acetabular fractures occurs in young/middle aged patients due to high energy trauma. Best results have been obtained by total hip arthroplasty compared to other forms of treatment. THR requires acetabular reconstruction and bone grafting.Limb length discrepancy needs to be addressed-due to proximal femoral migration & protrusio acetabulum. The purpose of this study was to focus on the outcome of impacted bulk or morselized cancellous grafts with cementless hemispherical components in the presence of cavitary acetabular defects in primary total hip arthroplasties.
