Outcome of surgically treated acetabular fractures: risk factors for postoperative complications and for early conversion to total hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: The gold standard of Acetabular fractures treatment is open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Our purpose is to assess the short- to medium-term outcomes and complications of surgically treated acetabular fractures. We analysed factors influencing clinical outcomes, incidence of complications and predictors of conversion in total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Periprosthetic femoral fractures in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA): a comparison between osteosynthesis and revision in a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Periprosthetic femoral fractures are challenging complications of hip arthroplasty. They are supposed to be a rare complication, but their incidence is rapidly increasing. Surgical treatment aims to achieve early mobilization and avoid the complications of prolonged bed rest.
