Introduction: Traumatic posterior hip dislocation with comminuted fracture of the ipsilateral acetabulum and femoral neck is a rare fracture pattern. These injuries are associated with high energy trauma and pose challenges during management. Controversy exists between hip preservation and replacement surgeries in middle-age patients. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) have a high risk of non-union, avascular necrosis, and post-traumatic osteoarthritis of hip requiring total hip arthroplasty hip replacement (THA) as a secondary procedure later. Case Report: A 56-year-old male presented with posterior hip dislocation and comminuted fracture of ipsilateral wall and column of the acetabulum, and femoral neck following a high energy trauma. He was managed by acetabular reconstruction using femoral head structural autograft combined with acute primary uncemented THA. At 2-year follow-up, the patient had good functional outcome with a satisfactory range of motion without any difficulty in weight-bearing and doing his daily activities. Conclusion: Although uncommon, acetabular reconstruction using femoral head structural autograft and acute primary uncemented THA is a viable alternative treatment option compared to ORIF in middle-age patients with fracture of ipsilateral neck and acetabulum. This facilitates post-operative rehabilitation and avoids further operations for possible developing AVN or secondary arthritis. Keywords: Hip dislocation, acetabulum fracture, femur neck fracture, acute total hip arthroplasty, acetabular reconstruction, femoral head structural autograft.

Abstract Background and purpose Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful approach to treat unilateral symptomatic neglected hip dislocation (NHD). However, the extensive leg length discrepancy (LLD) can hereby only be partially corrected. In case of residual LLD of more than 2 cm, subsequent femoral lengthening can be considered. Patients/material/methods Retrospective analysis of clinical data and radiographs of five patients (age 38.1 (28–51) years) with unilateral NHD who underwent THA with (n  = 3) or without (n = 2) subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy (SSO) and secondary intramedullary femoral lengthening through a retrograde magnetically-driven lengthening nail (follow-up 18.4 (15–27) months). Results LLD was 51.0 (45–60) mm before and 37.0 (30–45) mm after THA. Delayed bone union at one SSO site healed after revision with autologous bone grafting and plate fixation. Subsequent lengthening led to leg length equalisation in all patients. Complete consolidation was documented in all lengthened segments. Conclusion Staged reconstruction via THA and secondary femoral lengthening can successfully be used to reconstruct the hip joint and equalise LLD. The specific anatomical conditions have to be taken into consideration when planning treatment, and patients ought to be closely monitored.

This study aims to establish the midterm safety and performance for the direct superior approach to minimally invasive surgery total hip arthroplasty (MIS-THA). We used a unicentric, single-surgeon, retrospective, consecutive case series analysis of the first 40 patients who received primary unilateral direct superior MIS-THA. Special attention was given to functional recovery by measuring Harris Hip Score (HHS) and timed-up-and-go (TUG) with a mean follow up of 2.2 ± 0.4 years. A radiologic evaluation was performed. HHS and TUG improved significantly at three months and one year (p < 0.001). All components were placed within the Lewinnek safe zone with no change position or signs of loosening at two years. With a minimum of two years of follow up, the direct superior approach appears to be safe without any obvious or consistent postoperative complications—clinically or radiographically—with excellent functional recovery. Additionally, our subgroup analysis supported no late learning curve effect.
