This study was conducted to identify the factors influencing mechanical failure of cementless acetabular reconstruction for arthropathy after operative treatment of acetabular fractures. Fifty-six patients (56 hips) undergoing cementless total hip arthroplasty were enrolled and followed for a mean of 120 months (range, 60-180 months). The 10-year survival rate, with mechanical failure (radiogra...

Objective To evaluate the correlation between radiographic parameters of the proximal femur with femoral neck fractures or transtrochanteric fractures. Methods Cervicodiaphyseal angle (CDA), femoral neck width (FNW), hip axis length (HAL), and acetabular tear drop distance (ATD) were analyzed in 30 pelvis anteroposterior view X-rays of patients with femoral neck fractures (n = 15) and transtr...

Acetabular fractures have a high impact on patient’s quality of life, and because acetabular are energy injuries, they often co-occur with other pathologies such as damage to cartilage that could increase related morbidity; thus, it appears primary importance developing reliable treatments for this disease. This work aims at the evaluation biomechanical performances non-conservative through fin...

The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of and evaluate the risk for complications and mortality following open treatment of acetabular fractures in the Medicare population. Patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for acetabular fractures were identified using current procedural terminology codes in a 5% national sample of Medicare records. Complicatio...

Introduction: Acetabular fractures are severe injuries, and the operative management is a challenge among orthopaedics trauma surgeons. There is no data available on long term follow up results as well as differences between the major acetabular fracture patterns in Brunei. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study of 42 acetabular fractures treated surgically at RIPAS Hospital, Brun...

Aim: Acetabular fractures were evaluated by Judet and Letournel in two main groups as elementary associated fractures. There are publications the literature that results worse complexity of fracture increases. The aim this study was to evaluate whether clinical outcomes fractured patients. Material Methods: included 48 acetabular admitted emergency room treated surgically between December 2011 ...

In the last 35 years, the study of acetabular fractures has evolved thanks to the initial work of Judet and Letournel1, to the publication of Letournel and Judet2 and to the research of other authors who have followed in the same school3. Acetabular fractures are caused by high-energy trauma, with traffic accidents, especially automobile accidents being their main cause3. The increase in the nu...

BACKGROUND We analyzed the extent of the comminution in the acetabular weight-bearing area, the clinical and radiographic results, and the complications after a minimum 2-year follow-up of the modified Stoppa approach for the treatment of acetabular fractures, and we attempted to evaluate the efficacy of the operative technique. METHODS All of the 22 patients, who needed the anterior approach...

Pubic rami fractures are common. They are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. These fractures are usually classified as stable injuries and traditionally receive limited orthopaedic input. Management typically involves hospital admission and early input from physiotherapists and occupational therapists. Early mobilisation is advocated as a central part of managing these patient...
