Diagram showing the differences between the three medial protrusion techniques increasing the rate of cup coverage. a The illustration of a medial wall fracture. The blue color showed the complete internal layer of the periosteum. The red color showed the autogeneous mud-like cancellous graft and fractured medial wall. b The illustration of medial wall osteotomy. The red color showed the medially displaced bone block. c The illustration of medial wall penetration. The medial aspect of the acetabular cup beyond the Kohler’s line with a discontinuous internal layer of the periosteum colored in blue and bone loss
