Failure of an acetabular cup is uncommon and has been attributed to wear or creep, trauma or bony irregularities in the acetabulum. We report ten cases in which fracture of the cup occurred at the site of drill holes used to anchor the marker wire. The role of such indentations as stress raisers has not been previously reported; we suggest that deep indentations or grooves should not be placed in the most highly stressed areas and that the cup thickness should allow for predicted wear rates.
