acetabulum The aim of socket cementation is to produce a cement mantle of adequate thickness, with a strong mechanical

acetabula, with irregularities. • Fig. 6.5Illuminoss fixation of a 53-year-old female with metastatic fracture of the pelvis

acetabulum. The acetabulum is a deep socket with a C-shaped articular area covered with hyaline cartilage, and a fat-filled

acetabulum and the femur. The posterior approach has been shown to have the lowest overall complication rate of the major

acetabulum that partially covers the true acetabulum. False acetabulum covers more than 50% of true acetabulum

acetabulum with complete decortication, drill holes, and graft applied to the medial wall and over the transverse ligament, occluding

acetabulum. Consideration for retention of screws abutting the acetabulum should be made to minimize dissection needed. A metal
