Successful replacement of hips is the only solution for severe degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis (Bird, 1995). During cemented fixation of the acetabular cup, anchorage holes are drilled in the acetabulum, then cement is introduced and pressurised to create cement pegs within the anchorage holes. During physiological activities, the bone cement interface of the acetabulum experiences...

Computerised tomography is useful in the diagnosis of abnormalities of the hip in children, particularly in assessing the size and shape of the acetabulum, the position and congruity of the femoral head relative to the acetabulum, and the degree of femoral anteversion or retroversion. It is most useful when limited hip movement and previous operations preclude adequate clinical examination and ...

A 47 year old man, fell downstairs onto his left hip. He could not get up on his own and could not bear weight on the left leg. Figure 1 Frontal view ofpelvis showing a dislocation at the left hip and a loose bone fragment superimposed on the acetabulum.

While the incidence of hip fractures has declined during last decades, acetabular resulting from low-energy sideways falls increased, and mechanisms responsible for this trend remain unknown. Previous studies have suggested that body configuration impact plays an important role in a fracture. Thus, aim study was to investigate effect angles (trunk tilt angle, trunk flexion femur horizontal rota...

INTRODUCTION Vascular complications related to cup-fixating screws penetrating the medial acetabular wall during total hip arthroplasty are not uncommon but rarely are associated with serious adverse events in the late post-operative period. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 77-year-old Japanese woman who developed progressive extensive bone resorption and large hematoma in the aceta...

BACKGROUND The management of pelvic giant cell tumors (GCTs) involving the acetabulum remains a challenge for surgeons on how to balance the relative benefits of minimizing recurrence and maintaining postoperative hip function. The present study was to present and evaluate the clinical indications, operative technique, and outcomes of pelvic GCTs involving partial acetabulum treated with multip...
