Background: It remains controversial whether isolated acetabular component revision or both component revision surgeries should be performed in patients with stable femoral component. The present study aimed to evaluate the survival of patients with unrevised stable uncemented femoral stem who underwent isolated acetabular component revision.
Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in patients who underwent isolated acetabular component revision and had stable uncemented femoral component during revision hip arthroplasty between February 1998 and December 2009. Demographic data of the patients included age, previous surgery, complications, duration between primary and revision surgery, and duration between revision and latest follow-up. Functional results were analyzed using Harris Hip Score (HHS).
Results: Fifteen hips of thirteen patients were included in the study with a mean age of 62.08 ± 12.9 years. Average time from THA to the isolated acetabular revision was 9.2 ± 3.48 years. Average follow-up time from revision to the latest follow-up was 12.39 ± 2.68 years, and femoral components had been followed for an average of 21.6 ± 4.06 years since the time of implantation. Average HHS of the patients were 53 before revision surgery and 81.9 at the last follow-up ( < 0.001). The 10-year survival rate of patients who underwent revision in the femoral component was 100%, whereas their 15-year survival rate was 93.3%. None of the acetabular components required revision.
Conclusion: Isolated revision of acetabular component may be considered if there is stable uncemented femoral component in revision THA. Acetabular reconstruction quality, acetabular and unrevised femoral component survival are not affected by retaining well-fixed femoral component.
Level Of Evidence: 4, retrospective cohort study.

Background: Gravid females with pelvic fractures are rarely encountered by the orthopaedic trauma surgeon. The initial injury can be detrimental to the pregnant patient, but an unnecessary "second hit" from surgery could also contribute to the outcome of the fetus. Understanding the surgical risks for this unique patient population requires knowledge about the negative effects of anesthesia, surgical exposures, and radiation.

Background: Dislocation remains a common complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Previous literature has shown that the femoral head-to-neck ratio is essential in hip motion, function, and stability. While large femoral heads and dual mobility bearings have been developed to improve stability, it remains unknown if the ratio between femoral head size to acetabular cup size also plays a role in stability.

Acetabular fractures are rare fractures of the pelvis which usually result from trauma. Whilst data are reported on sexual and genitourinary function in those with pelvic fractures, less is known about those with isolated acetabulum fractures. This systematic review aimed to determine, first, the frequency of sexual and genitourinary dysfunction following isolated acetabulum fractures and, second, the nature of these complications.

Background Acetabular fractures, a rising concern in developing countries, pose a significant challenge due to their complexity and association with post-operative complications. Often caused by high-energy mechanisms like falls and motor vehicle accidents, these fractures require accurate reduction to prevent long-term issues and the potential need for hip replacement. This study investigates the radiological outcomes of acetabular fracture surgery at six months, focusing on the effectiveness of achieving anatomical reduction using the Matta criteria in a low-and middle-income country (LMIC) setting.

While labral tears are commonly identified in femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, developmental dysplasia of the hip is also a cause of chondrolabral pathology. Our understanding of paralabral cysts has encouraged addressing the concomitant labral pathology, as this has been shown to result in cyst resolution.
