Acetabular fractures present a challenge. Anatomical reduction can be achieved by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). However, in elderly patients with complex fracture patterns and osteoporotic bone stock, “fix and replace” has become an option in the management of these injuries. This involves ORIF of the acetabulum to enable insertion of a press fit cup and subsequent cemented femoral stem at the index surgery. A Retrospective analysis of all operatively managed acetabular fractures by a regional Pelvic and Acetabular Trauma service (01/01/2018-30/05/2023) STATA used for analysis. 34 patients undergoing “fix and replace” surgery. Of the 133 patients managed with ORIF, 21 subsequently required

Background. A lot of discussion persists whether obesity negatively influences the outcome of hip arthroplasty. Current literature does not answer this question, since manuscripts showing a worse outcome and those showing a similar outcome can both be found. We performed a meta-analysis with the primary research question whether obesity has a negative influence on short and long term outcome of
