Summary
Acetabular peri-prosthetic fractures, a growing concern with more hip replacements, require careful management. This review updates knowledge on their causes, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Area of Science:
- Orthopaedic Surgery
- Traumatology
Background:
- Acetabular peri-prosthetic fractures are increasing due to rising rates of total hip arthroplasty and an aging population.
- These fractures, occurring intra-operatively or post-operatively, have diverse causes.
- Factors like implant stability, bone quality, and patient comorbidities influence treatment decisions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide an updated review of acetabular peri-prosthetic fractures.
- To cover epidemiology, diagnostic workup, classification, surgical approaches, and treatment options.
Main Methods:
- Literature review focusing on acetabular peri-prosthetic fractures.
- Analysis of existing data on incidence, etiology, and management.
Main Results:
- The incidence of these fractures is rising.
- No universally accepted treatment algorithm currently exists.
- Surgical management presents a significant challenge.
Conclusions:
- A comprehensive understanding of acetabular peri-prosthetic fractures is crucial.
- Further research and standardized treatment protocols are needed.
