It is widely accepted that the most important principle of
acetabular fracture treatment is anatomical restoration of the acetabular surface, particularly the weight bearing zone and stable internal fixation, resulting in a congruent hip [1,2], i.e.
Pelvic,
Acetabular Fracture workshop concludes in KTH
In line to line technique, bone is prepared in a way that the size of acetabulum is same as that of implant cup so there is minimal risk of
acetabular fracture. Acetabular cup is impacted into the position and is secured with multiple screws placed into bone through the implant cup.
Obturator artery disruption associated with
acetabular fracture: A case study and anatomy review.
Previous reports of intrapelvic intrusion of the femoral head following femoral neck fractures have further been described in the setting of pelvic [12] or central
acetabular fracture [13].
Indications and technical challenges of total hip arthroplasty in the elderly after
acetabular fracture. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2014;100:193-7.
Abdominal CT revealed lacerations of the spleen and liver in addition to perirenal hematoma and left
acetabular fracture.
The only prior literature describing strain of both the obturator internus and externus was seen on MRI after posterior hip dislocation and was associated with quadratus femoris strain,
acetabular fracture and avulsion of the lesser trochanter (3).
The complication profile was even higher in another study evaluating complications of
acetabular fracture surgery in morbidly obese patients (BMI [greater than or equal to] 40) [19].
With the exception of irreducible dislocations, surgical indications include nonconcentric reductions with intra-articular fragments of cartilage or bone, associated fracture of the femoral neck or femoral head, and associated
acetabular fracture combined with hip joint instability.
