Total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of osteoarthritis secondary to acetabular fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation
2019
Background
Acetabular fractures are associated with damage to the femoral head, acetabular cartilage and labrum and possible disruption of the femoral head blood supply. Treatment aims to provide the best opportunity for restoration of joint function and to prevent long-term complications. Surgical intervention, in the form of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), is often required. Where post-traumatic osteoarthritis develops after ORIF, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often required. Our aim here has been to identify and highlight our experience with the key technical points associated with successful outcomes for THA in this setting.
