Background: Chronic pelvic discontinuity is a challenge during revision total hip arthroplasty due to the loss of structural continuity of the superior and inferior aspects of the acetabulum from severe acetabular bone loss. Acetabular distraction provides an alternative surgical treatment by stabilizing the acetabular component through elastic recoil of the pelvis, which may be supplemented with modular porous augments for addressing major acetabular defects. This study reports 2-year radiographic findings following acetabular distraction for the treatment of chronic pelvic discontinuity.
Methods: Patients undergoing acetabular distraction performed by 5 surgeons from 2002 to 2021 were identified across 5 institutions. Demographic, surgical, and postoperative outcomes, including radiographic component stability, were recorded. There were 53 of 91 (58.2%) patients (5 deceased, 33 lost to follow-up) consisting of 4 Paprosky IIC (7.5%), 8 Paprosky IIIA (15.1%), and 41 Paprosky IIIB (77.4%) defects included, with a mean follow-up time of 4.8 years (range, 2 to 13.5). Modular porous augments were used in 33 (62.3%) cases. Failure was defined as a subsequent revision of the acetabular construct.
Results: Among the 13 (24.5%) patients who returned to the operating room, 6 (46.2%) had a prior history of revision total hip arthroplasty before undergoing acetabular distraction. Only 5 (9.4%) patients underwent acetabular revision following acetabular distraction, leading to an overall cup survivorship of 90.6%. Of the remaining 48 patients, 46 (95.8%) had evidence of radiographic bridging callus of the chronic pelvic discontinuity at their last clinical follow-up.
Conclusions: To our knowledge, in the largest series to date, acetabular distraction has proven to be a viable treatment for acetabular bone loss with a chronic pelvic discontinuity, with excellent early survivorship and radiographic evidence of bridging callus. Future studies with longer follow-ups are needed to further monitor the efficacy of this technique.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, Retrospective Comparative Study.

Background: The essential component of managing femoroacetabular impingement involves restoration of the original labral function. Circumferential labral reconstruction (CLR) has shown positive results. However, biomechanical studies of CLR are limited and have not established the efficacy of the modern knotless all-suture anchor (ASA) pull-through technique.

Computed tomography arthrography (CTA) highly correlates with arthroscopy in detecting labral tears, especially in patients with positive impingement tests. CTA enables the acquisition of isotropic datasets with high spatial resolution within a single acquisition. However, the hip is a close-fitting, congruent, and nearly spherical joint, with relatively thin cartilage.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a serious condition resulting in inadequate acetabular development, distorted bone configuration, and substantially altered hip biomechanics. An extensive leg length discrepancy (LLD) is commonly encountered in such cases, making a total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedure extremely challenging. Although good results in terms of patients' satisfaction, implant survival rates and overall improved quality of life have been reported, complication rates are considerably higher than primary THA procedures performed for idiopathic osteoarthritis.

The number of hip revision surgeries is expected to increase in recent years, and reconstruction of acetabular defects is a challenge for joint surgeons. The principle of reconstruction of acetabular defects is to achieve initial and long-term stability between the prosthesis and the host bone. With the development of surgical techniques, prosthetic materials, and revision concepts, there is an urgent need for new acetabular bone defect evaluation systems to meet clinical needs.
