Therefore, particularly in elderly patients, these fractures are associated with periprosthetic osteolysis and bone loss. CT scan is considered the gold standard to define the fracture pattern; however, the presence of the prosthetic implants in situ limits the full view of the articular surface and bone loss. A three-dimensional (3D) modelling software allows precise tridimensional reconstructions of the bony surface, virtually removing the metallic implants trough DICOM image segmentation. We highlight the case of a periprosthetic acetabular fracture around THA which occurred to a 75-year-old woman, in which a 3D modelling software was used to improve the assessment of fracture morphology and bone quality. Moreover, the 3D images were printed in a real-life size model and were used for preoperative implant templating, sizing and surgical simulation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2019-233117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,10]],"date-time":"2020-01-10T04:06:53Z","timestamp":1578629213000},"page":"e233117","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Use
