Total hip arthroplasty after acetabular fracture: incidence of complications, reoperation rates and functional outcomes: evidence today

Abstract

The outcome of THA following acetabular fracture was analyzed on 654 patients with a systematic review approach. An uncemented acetabular and femoral component was used in 80.1% and 59.8% of the cases respectively. The median Harris hip score was 88 points. In the early THA group, Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis with any loosening, osteolysis or revision as the end point revealed that the 10-year cup survival was 81% whereas in the late THA group was 76% (P=0.287). The 10-year survival was 95% for the early stems and 85% for the late ones (P=0.001). Due to their complexity these fractures should be managed in highly specializing units where the expertise of arthroplasty and trauma reconstruction is available.

Keywords: acetabular fractures; implant survival; systematic review; total hip replacement; treatment outcome.
