The acetabulum fracture with chronic dislocation of the femoral head is relatively uncommon. Due to complex morphology and bone defect of the acetabular dome, stable internal fixation is difficult. Primary total hip arthroplasty represents an alternative treatment. We report the case of a 66-year-old patient with a 3-month history of acetabular fracture with central dislocation of the femoral head. The patient was treated with cemented total hip arthroplasty and cancellous bone grafting of the central dome defect for stable cup fixation.
