Neglected acetabular fractures are often challenging to treat. The aim of this study is to highlight the technique of acetabular distraction with porous metal cup as a viable technique to address such complex cases. This is a prospective study of seven patients who had neglected acetabular fracture or fracture non-union that were managed with total hip arthroplasty using acetabular distraction and porous metal cup with cemented liner. The average age of the patients was 51 years (range 36-58 years). Average time of follow up was 18 months (range 12-36 months). Radiological results at latest follow up and by comparing serial radiographs showed that all cases had a well-fixed implant construct without evidence of loosening or malorientation. Average Harris hip score pre-operatively was 46, which improved to an average of 84 post-operatively. Our study shows that total hip replacement using acetabular distraction with porous metal cup provide early good results in reconstruction of acetabular bony deficiencies due to neglected acetabular fracture.

Abstract. Introduction Total hip replacement is the most effective technique for the consequences of acetabular fractures. The study includes the literature review on the outcomes of total hip replacement (THR) in patients with post-traumatic coxarthrosis. Material and methods The search was performed via databases of PUBMED, SCOPUS, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, E-library and publications using the keywords “acetabulum”, “fracture”, “total hip arthroplasty” and “post-traumatic arthritis” published between 1995 and 2020. The exclusion criteria were a series of less than 10 patients, a follow-up period of less than 12 months. Abstracts of the meetings and review articles published either in Russian or in English were included in the study. Patients' demographic data, surgical characteristics and outcomes were reviewed. Results Total 1,843 publications were reviewed and the analysis included data from 20 studies with the total number of 1,184 cases reviewed. Surgical treatments of the patients were performed between 1984 and 2018. The follow–up period averaged to 5.5 ± 1.19 years (range, 2 to 18 years). The mean age of the patients was 56.4 ± 12.7 years. The mean interval from an injury to total hip arthroplasty was 8 ± 2.7 years. The mean Harris Hip Score was 39.4 ± 11 prior to surgery and 86.2 ± 22 postoperatively. The most common postoperative complications were heterotopic ossification (28.9 ± 10 %), aseptic loosening (8.15 ± 1.82 %) and periprosthetic joint infection (7.89+1.86 %). Complications that required revision surgery were noted in 13.47 ± 2.91 % cases. Conclusion THR in patients who sustained acetabular fractures is challenging, and bone grafts or acetabular augments would be needed to address an acetabular defect of any localization.

Abstract Background: We proposed a new concept of “iliac extended fixation” in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) as fixation extending superiorly 2 cm beyond the original acetabular rim with porous metal augments, which was further classified into intracavitary and extracavitary fixation. This study reports the minimum 2 years outcome of the iliac extended fixation technique in patients with Paprosky type 3 acetabular defects. Methods: Thirty two revision THA patients were retrospectively reviewed who underwent reconstruction with the concept of iliac extended fixation from 2014 to 2016 in our hospital. Patients were assessed using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score (WOMAC). In addition, radiographs were assessed and patient reported satisfaction was collected. Results: At an average follow-up of 40 months (range 25 – 64 months), the postoperative HHS and WOMAC scores were significantly improved at the last follow-up (p < 0.001). The postoperative horizontal and vertical locations of the COR were significantly improved from the preoperative measurements (p < 0.05). Two (6.3 %) patients were dissatisfied with the outcome. The extracavitary iliac extended fixation group had significantly more horizontal screws fixation (4.6 ± 25.7° vs 41.9 ± 37.8°, p < 0.001) and higher rate of osteointegration in zone 1A (91.7% vs 50.0%, p = 0.023) than the intracavitary iliac extended fixation group. Conclusions: Intracavitary and extracavitary iliac extended fixation with porous metal augments and cementless cups are effective in reconstructing severe superior acetabular bone defects, with promising short-term clinical and radiographic outcome.

Introduction: The treatment of fracture neck femur varies according to the age of patient, the displacement of fracture fragments and the duration of the fracture. Various treatment options available for elderly are screw fixation, hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study done at authors institutes between January 2014- December 2016. 30 patients aged more than 50 years who sustained fracture neck femur were included in the study. 3 patients were lost to follow up and 2 patients died due to medical comorbidities. Out of the 25 remaining patients, 17 were males and 8 were females and they were operated by the biplane double supported screw fixation method (BDSF TECHNIQUE) and were followed up for a period of two years. The final Harris Hip Score at the last follow up was calculated. Results: Out of the 25 patients, the union was achieved in all the patients. The mean duration of union was 10 weeks. 1 patient had progressive femoral head resorption due to chondrolysis resulting in antalgic gait and unbearable pain and underwent total hip arthroplasty. The mean harris hip score was 81.2 Conclusion: In elderly patients with osteoporosis and in those patients who can not afford arthroplasty or in those patients where arthroplasty is contraindicated, BDSF method is an alternate method for fixing fracture neck femur.

Aims After failed acetabular fractures, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a challenging procedure and considered the gold standard treatment. The complexity of the procedure depends on the fracture pattern and the initial fracture management. This study’s primary aim was to evaluate patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for patients who underwent delayed uncemented acetabular THA after acetabular fractures. The secondary aims were to assess the radiological outcome and the incidence of the associated complications in those patients. Methods A total of 40 patients underwent cementless acetabular THA following failed treatment of acetabular fractures. The postoperative clinical and radiological outcomes were evaluated for all the cohort. Results The median (interquartile range (IQR)) Oxford Hip Score (OHS) improved significantly from 9.5 (7 to 11.5), (95% confidence interval (CI) (8 to 10.6)) to 40 (39 to 44), (95% CI (40 to 43)) postoperatively at the latest follow-up (p < 0.001). It was worth noting that the initial acetabular fracture type (simple vs complex), previous acetabular treatment (ORIF vs conservative), fracture union, and restoration of anatomical centre of rotation (COR) did not affect the final OHS. The reconstructed centre of rotation (COR) was restored in 29 (72.5%) patients. The mean abduction angle in whom acetabular fractures were managed conservatively was statistically significantly higher than the surgically treated patients 42.6° (SD 7.4) vs 38° (SD 5.6)) (p = 0.032). We did not have any case of acetabular or femoral loosening at the time of the last follow-up. We had two patients with successful two-stage revision for infection with overall eight-year survival rate was 95.2% (95% CI 86.6% to 100%) with revision for any reason at a median (IQR) duration of follow-up 50 months (16 to 87) months following THA. Conclusion Delayed cementless acetabular THA in patients with previous failed acetabular fracture treatments produces good clinical outcomes (PROMS) with excellent survivorship, despite the technically demanding nature of the procedure. The initial fracture treatment does not influence the outcome of delayed THA. In selected cases of acetabular fractures (either nondisplaced or with secondary congruency), the initial nonoperative treatment neither resulted in large acetabular defects nor required additional acetabular reconstruction at the time of THA.

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a major concern, because it is reported to range from 1% to 5%. The concept of dual mobility articulation was developed in 1970 by Bousquet to decrease dislocation risk. Several studies have looked at the outcome of dual mobility articulation in primary THA and in revision THA.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This is a prospective study of 33 patients undergoing dual mobility THA during 24 months period from October 2017 to September 2019. Patients undergoing total hip replacement (THR) to have dual mobility cup (DMC) were those at high risk of dislocation. Patients were followed up for a mean period of 18 months.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Results: </strong>33 patients (mean age 67 years) underwent DMC THA. 27 patients underwent primary hip replacement. The follow-up of our cases has ranged from 13 months to 3 years with a mean follow-up of 18 months. none of the patients had hip dislocation.</p><p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: The DMC is an effective solution for the management of high-risk cases undergoing total hip replacement to reduce the incidence of postoperative instability.</p>

Abstract Background Whilst bony fixation of hip replacement has stable solutions, there remains controversy over which bearing best optimizes longevity and function. Ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearing combinations are associated with lower risk of revision due to aseptic loosening and dislocation. Evidence for long-term functional outcomes of modern, 4th generation CoC bearings is limited. The aim of this study was to analyze outcomes and complications of the R3™ Acetabular System (Smith & Nephew, Inc., Cordova, TN, USA) in combination with BIOLOX® Delta ceramic femoral head in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods Between June 2009 and May 2011, 175 patients (178 hips) were enrolled into a prospective, study at 6 sites in Europe and prospectively followed-up at 3 months and 1, 3, 5, and 7 years postoperative. Results Total WOMAC score improved from 63 (range, 22–91) preoperative to 8 (range, 0–8) at 1-year follow-up and remained unchanged at 7-year follow-up. Modified Harris hip score improved from 45 (range, 10–87) preoperative to 83 (range, 25–100) at 3 months, 91 (range, 42–100) at 1 year, and 92 (range, 46, 100) at 7 years. UCLA Activity Rating Scale score improved from 3.3 (range, 1–8) preoperative to 6.2 (range, 2–8) at 1 year; it marginally declined to 5.8 (range, 3–8) at 7-year follow-up. There were 4 trochanteric fractures and 5 patients died of unrelated reasons. Three hips were revised (2 periprosthetic fractures and 1 subluxation). The 7-year cumulative survival rate was 98.3%. Conclusion Clinical and functional improvements of THA with CoC bearing are maintained at 7 years postoperative.

Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an available surgical option for failed acetabular fracture, previously managed by open reduction and internal fixation. This study aimed to report the postoperative outcomes of cementless THA in patients with this condition. Materials and Methods: Between November 2000 and September 2016, 25 consecutive cementless THAs for failed internal fixation after acetabular fractures with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were analyzed. The mean age at the time of surgery was 58 years (36–85 years), and the time elapsed between fracture and THA was 70 months (7–213 months). Clinical and radiologic evaluations were performed on all patients. Results: Clinically, the mean Harris hip score at the last follow-up was 88 points. Walking ability recovered to pre-injury status in 92% patients, and activities of daily living recovered in 96% patients. Radiographically, none of the acetabular cups showed evidence of migration and loosening during the mean follow-up of 50 months. All cases showed stable femoral stem fixation at the last follow-up. Dislocation occurred in three cases (12%). Conclusion: Outcomes of cementless THA after failed internal fixation for acetabular fractures were satisfactory. However, a relatively high incidence of postoperative dislocation is still a concern.

Background: Acetabular fractures are complex orthopaedic injuries and require a fair amount of expertise for management. Although undisplaced acetabular fractures can be managed by nonoperative means, displaced acetabular fractures need operative intervention for reduction and stabilization. Methods: The study was carried as a retrospective study, from February 2013 to July 2014. After getting the approval from the Ethics Committee of the Institute (Annexure I) and the consent from the patients the study was conducted on 49 patients who underwent Total Hip Arthroplasty after fracture acetabulum. Results: On evaluation, patients at short term follow up had good clinical outcome on the basis of Harris hip score. The Harris hip scores improved progressively in the patients at 2-4 years follow up having mean HHS of 92 which further increased to 97 in patients who were followed up after 4 years. The patients at short term follow up of up to 2 years had comparatively lower quality of life scores when compared to the follow up at 2-4 years. The patients followed up after 4 years had the best quality of life. Conclusion: We concluded that total hip arthroplasty after acetabulum fracture, as a result of good quality of reconstruction, a good functional outcome leads to improved quality of life in the patients. Keywords: Hip, Arthroplasty, Reconstruction.
