Intraoperative Acetabular Fractures in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty Management and Functional Outcomes.

Purpose: Intraoperative acetabular fracture (IAF) is a non-common complication of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Despite the prevalence of intraoperative periprosthetic fractures are increasing, little has been written about this type of fracture. The main objective is to analyze possible risk factors, treatment options and functional outcomes associated with IAF.

Hip arthroscopy is an effective treatment for high-level female athletes.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the outcomes of hip arthroscopic surgery in high-level female athletes diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) compared to those with lower levels of sports activity. Additionally, we investigated the effectiveness of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and the potential ceiling effect as a lack of sensitivity in detecting clinically statistically significant changes in high-level female athletes due to high baseline scores.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from female patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAI between January 2016 and August 2022 with a minimum 1-year follow-up.
