Abstract
PD is the loss of structural bone or fracture that separates completely the superior (ilium) from the inferior pelvis (ischiopubic segment) through the anterior and posterior columns of the acetabulum [1, 2]. It is a rare complication that ranges between 1 and 8% in revision THA series. Patients at risk are women, patients suffering from RA, and those with history of radiation therapy [1].
