There were 1 transient sciatic nerve injury, 1 acetabular fracture, and 11 (5.0%) intraoperative femoral fractures (IFF), of which 7 were treated with cerclage wire or titanium band during the operation while the other fractures were treated conservatively. None of the IFF patients were revised due to fracture during the follow-up period (one revision due to infection).
