Rapid Destruction of the Hip Joint After Acetabular Fracture in an Elderly Patient

Cases of rapidly progressive destruction of the hip joint after acetabular fractures are rarely reported. A 78-year-old woman fell from a chair. There was no fracture diagnosis; however, retrospective evaluation of the plain radiograph showed a slightly displaced fracture of the acetabulum. Her pain...
