Protrusio acetabuli in sickle-cell anemia.

S Martinez, J S Apple, C Baber

    Radiology
    |April 1, 1984

    Summary

    Sickle-cell anemia (SS, SC) can lead to protrusio acetabuli, a hip condition. Radiographs revealed this in 14 patients with sickle-cell anemia, suggesting a predisposition.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Hematology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Sickle-cell anemia (SS, SC) is a genetic blood disorder with known skeletal complications.
    • Protrusio acetabuli is a condition where the acetabulum protrudes into the pelvic cavity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of protrusio acetabuli in adults with sickle-cell anemia.
    • To determine the relationship between sickle-cell anemia bone changes and protrusio acetabuli.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiographic analysis of pelvis and hip in 155 adults with sickle-cell anemia (SS, SC).
    • Measurement of acetabular line projection relative to the ilio-ischial line to diagnose protrusio acetabuli.
    • Assessment of bone changes including marrow hyperplasia and osteonecrosis.

    Main Results:

    • Protrusio acetabuli was identified in 14 out of 155 patients (9%).
    • The condition was more prevalent in women (11) than men (3).
    • All affected patients exhibited bone changes related to sickle-cell anemia, but severity of osteonecrosis did not correlate with protrusion.

    Conclusions:

    • Sickle-cell anemia (SS, SC) may predispose individuals to developing protrusio acetabuli.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the exact mechanism linking sickle-cell anemia to this hip abnormality.
