Malunion of the Acetabulum Treated by Intra-articular Buttress

Acetabulum malunions are extremely difficult to treat, and for many years, surgical indications have been dominated by total hip replacement.

The radiological and clinical result with this extended follow-up is quite remarkable, which has motivated us to present this original technique.
