Management of acetabular bone stock deficiency

Abstract:
Acetabular bone stock deficiency in primary and revision total hip arthroplasties can usually be effectively managed by combining the use of appropriately designed implants and structural or nonstructural bone grafts or bone graft substitutes. An appreciation of the deformity before surgery will allow for proper planning and execution of a plan at the time of surgery. The presence of segmental defects or pelvic instability is particularly important to assess preoperatively. Adherence to basic principles of bone grafting and implant fixation allows surgeons to reliably manage these potentially difficult problems.

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
