Multivariable generalized linear models identified adjusted associations between surgery type and outcomes; adjusted odds ratios (ORs) or mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were reported.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Among 5656 eligible procedures, the matched cohort included 2879 patients (1027 THA, mean age 78.6 years, 42.3% men; 1852 ORIF, mean age 78.6 years, 42.4% men). Patients with THA (vs. ORIF) had an increased odds of 30-day and 90-day hospital returns (30-day: OR = 1.54, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001; 90-day: OR = 1.25, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.01) and 90-day and 1-year infection (90-day: OR = 1.92, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001; 1-year: OR = 1.74, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). THA was also associated with higher odds of 90-day reoperation (OR = 2.47, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001) but not 1-year reoperation (OR = 0.84, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.16). No significant associations were observed for hospital length of stay (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.42), discharge disposition (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.93), use of 90-day home health services (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.13), 90-day venous thromboembolism (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.75), or 1-year mortality (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.65).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Patients who underwent THA for acetabular fractures were more likely to return to the hospital within 30 and 90 days postsurgery, have an infection in the year after surgery, and undergo a reoperation in the 90-day postoperative period than those who underwent ORIF. Further investigation of the mechanisms of the observed associations is necessary to understand which surgical approach provides optimal outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Therapeutic Level II.
