THA after acetabular fracture fixation: is frozen section necessary?
Infection is uncommon after THA performed for failed acetabular fracture repair, despite a high reported incidence of culture-positive fixation implants. The use of frozen section analysis at the time of THA after acetabular fracture fixation surgery is unknown. ⋯ Level III, diagnostic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
