A major concern during revision hip arthroplasty is acetabular bone loss and bleeding during the extraction of well-fixed cementless acetabular cup, because no interface exists between the host bone and the cup. Forceful removal of such component using curved gouges and osteotomes often leads to extended bone loss and compromises reimplantation of a new socket. In the following case report, we ...

BACKGROUND Acetabular fractures are quite challenging injuries for the orthopedic surgeon because of their low incidence and their deep and complex anatomy. The objective of this study was to evaluate surgeon-independent parameters that might influence radiographic outcome and early complication rates of high-energy acetabular fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation via the Ko...

PURPOSE We hypothesized that the central dislocation of the femoral head does generally not occur in transverse acetabular fractures, although it does usually occur in both column fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-two transverse and both column acetabular fracture cases were evaluated retrospectively. The distances between (a) the sciatic notch on the fracture side and the vertical axis ...

INTRODUCTION Modified Stoppa approach was introduced as an alternative to ilioinguinal approach for management of anterior fractures of acetabulum in order to reduce complications of the latter. However, the efficacy of either approach over other is not well established. The aim of this meta-analysis is to compare the efficacy of modified stoppa and ilioinguinal approach in the management of ac...

Objective. To evaluate morbidity and functional outcome of surgically treated pelvic fractures acetabular in our institution. Methods. A chart review was done to identify subjects with injuries open reduction internal fixation from 2014–2019. We collected data for blood loss, time surgery, post-surgical intervention, the Majeed score score. Results. included 11 patients (8 males, 3 females; m...

Significant soft tissue injuries often occur as part of high-energy injuries to the pelvis. These soft tissue injuries must be recognized and considered when implementing a treatment plan if complications are to be minimized. Vigilance in diagnosing open fractures must be maintained. Patients with these injuries must be managed aggressively, because they are at high risk for complications and d...

As elderly patients with hip osteoarthritis aged, acetabular dysplasia parameters decreased (Sharp's angle, acetabular roof obliquity angle, and acetabular head index) and the incidence of the atrophic type increased. Vertebral body fracture was more frequent in the atrophic type, suggesting the involvement of osteoporosis at the onset of hip osteoarthritis. INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis (OA) i...
