Case report of disengagement of sliding screw from the plate and penetration through the acetabulum into the pelvic cavity. The mechanism was probably technical failure in combination with osteoporosis and a new trauma in the region. We find that it is possible to remove the screw through the old incision, but the patient should be prepared for laparotomy.
