* Associated major injuries of the lower extremity (i.e., ipsilateral or contralateral fractures of the foot, ankle, tibia, fibula, knee, or femur; dislocations of the ankle, knee, or hip; or femoral head defects or fracture).
* Retained hardware around the affected acetabular.
* Infection around the acetabular (i.e., soft tissue or bone).
