Published: March 2019

Surgical treatment of acetabular fractures is indicated in displaced cases in order to restore and stabilize the hip joint and the pelvic ring integrity. Posterior structure fractures must be treated through posterior pelvic surgical approaches. The Kocher-Langenbeck is the most recommended approach for the majority of posterior acetabular fractures.

Background And Purpose:  Evidence for long-term outcomes following acetabular fractures in older adults is limited. We aimed to evaluate mortality, complications, and need for subsequent surgical procedures in operatively and nonoperatively treated older patients with acetabular fractures.

Methods: Patients aged ≥ 70 years with acetabular fractures treated at Uppsala University Hospital between 2010 and 2020 were included.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is widely used for active, elderly patients with femoral neck fractures (FNF). Compared to THA for osteoarthritis, THA for FNF is associated with a higher incidence of dislocation and reoperation. Robotic assistance may improve component positioning and leg-length restoration in THA, but its use in FNF has not been described.

 Femoral neck fractures in multiple myeloma patients are usually managed with hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty, depending on the presence of acetabular infiltration. Due to the paucity of dedicated studies, the aim of the present study is to review the clinical outcomes of hip hemiarthroplasty in patients with multiple myeloma and to review the literature regarding the outcomes and survival in these patients' subset.  There were 15 patients (16 cases), with a mean age of 71.

Previous studies suggest a relationship between femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and femoral neck stress fractures (FNSF), due to pathologic biomechanics in the setting of femoral head abutment (cam morphology) and/or acetabular overcoverage (pincer morphology). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between cam or pincer morphology and FNSF, compared to a control group of patients without hip pain. A retrospective review of the electronic medical record at a single institution was queried for patients with FNSF over a 10-year time period from January 2011-2021.
