Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of prophylactic embolization of the internal iliac artery (IIA) or superior gluteal artery (SGA) before open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in reducing intraoperative blood loss (IBL) in hemodynamically stable patients with complex acetabular fractures.

Materials And Methods: A total of 136 patients with complex acetabular fractures were retrospectively included and divided into the prophylactic transcatheter arterial embolization (PTAE) group and non-PTAE group, depending on whether ipsilateral IIA or SGA was embolized using coils within 3 days before ORIF. Demographic characteristics, injury severity score (ISS), fracture classification, and intraoperative and postoperative data were compared between the two groups.

Background: The prevalence of labral tears in asymptomatic active adults has been reported, but the prevalence of labral tears and other incidental hip lesions in the asymptomatic active pediatric population remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of hip abnormalities detected on 3T MRI in an active pediatric population with no hip symptoms and to compare with hip abnormalities found in children and adolescents who underwent an MRI for a hip-related condition.

Methods: After IRB approval, pediatric patients self-reporting as athletes and presenting with isolated, acute-onset knee pain requiring knee MRI were prospectively recruited to undergo 3T MRI of their asymptomatic contralateral hip (ASx).

Dislocation is the second most common indication for revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). In revision cases the dislocation rate can be as high as 5-30%. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome, specifically the dislocation rate in revision THA where a dual mobility cup was used.

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.
