Post-traumatic Total Hip Arthroplasty After Acetabular Fractures: Benefits of the Hardinge Approach.

Post-traumatic arthritis is a common sequelae after undergoing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of acetabular fractures. This often necessitates conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) to help alleviate pain and improve function for these patients. Unfortunately, dislocation rates for post-traumatic THA have been alarmingly high especially when the posterior approach has been used.

Surgical Fixation of Geriatric Sacral U-Type Insufficiency Fractures: A Retrospective Analysis.

Objectives: To define the incidence of sacral U-type insufficiency fracture and describe management of a consecutive series of patients with this injury.

Design: Retrospective analysis.

Setting: Single Level II trauma center.

Proximal Humerus Fracture-Dislocation with Laceration of the Axillary Artery: A Case Report.

Background: Proximal humerus fractures account for approximately 4-6% of all fractures. While the majority of these fractures are treated non-operatively, the amount of fracture displacement, concomitant injuries, and patient factors often result in the need for surgical stabilization. Although concomitant neurovascular injury in the setting of low-energy trauma is rare, injury to the surrounding neurovascular structures have previously been reported.
