Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has revolutionized patients' lives with hip osteoarthritis. However, the increasing prevalence of THA in individuals with prior lumbar arthrodesis (LA) poses unique challenges. This review delves into the biomechanical alterations, complications, and surgical strategies specific to this patient subset, highlighting the need for tailored preoperative assessments and planning.

Description: Surgery is performed with the patient in a supine position, with free lower limbs, on a radiolucent table. Arthroscopic superior and anterolateral portals are made similarly to the portals created to evaluate the peripheral compartment during an outside-in (ballooning) technique.
Article Synopsis
- Partial posterior wall fractures are commonly treated using an open reduction-internal fixation method through a posterolateral approach.
- However, if a fragment can be secured with just screws, hip arthroscopy in the prone position can be used as an alternative fixation method.
- The article outlines all the surgical steps needed to carry out this hip arthroscopy procedure effectively.
Avulsion fractures of the anterior inferior iliac spine rarely occur in adolescent athletes during rectus femoris contractions or eccentric muscle lengthening while the growth plate is still open. Currently, there are no official guidelines in the literature on the treatment indications of this type of fracture or the type of surgical technique to be used. Nowadays, young and athletic patients desire a quick return to their previous activities, which makes surgical treatment a reasonable choice.

The present study aimed to re-evaluate the appropriate acute surgical treatment of AIIS avulsion fractures considering the three-dimensional anatomy of the supracetabular region.
Methods: This study evaluated current evidence of AIIS avulsion fracture treatments and outcomes.
