Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

Bone metastasis in acetabulum can commonly be treated successfully with external beam radiation therapy. The goal in that case is to reduce the risk of developing a fracture.
Treatment with bisphosphonates can help to prevent complications related to bone metastases, like fractures.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Take care
