    A 72-year-old woman sustained a high-energy both-column acetabular fracture 10 years after total hip arthroplasty.

  • 2

    Intraoperative assessment confirmed the stability of the acetabular component, allowing for its retention during surgery.

  • 3

    The lateral rectus abdominis approach facilitated direct exposure for anatomic reduction and robust fixation of the fracture.

  • 4

    Two contoured reconstruction plates were used to reconstruct the anterior and posterior columns and quadrilateral surface.

  • 5

    This case highlights the importance of assessing acetabular component stability in managing traumatic periprosthetic fractures.
