Intraoperative acetabular fractures (IAFs), a complication seldomly encountered in total hip arthroplasty, are typically a result of the impact of insertion of a cementless press-fit cup. Factors that contribute to the risk of these types of fractures include poor bone quality, highly sclerotic bone, and the use of a press-fit cup that is excessively large. The approach to management of these fractures is dependent on when they are identified. Immediate stabilization measures should be implemented for management of fractures detected during surgery. When fractures are detected postoperatively, the decision regarding conservative treatment is dependent on the stability of the implant and the specific fracture pattern. In the majority of cases, effective treatment of an acetabular fracture detected intraoperatively can be administered using a multi-hole revision cup along with anchoring screws in the various regions of the acetabulum. Selection of plate osteosynthesis of the posterior column is recommended when there is a large posterior wall fragment or pelvic discontinuity. In cases where anatomical dimensions allow, cup-cage reconstruction may offer a promising alternative to a combined hip procedure. The number of reports addressing the management of IAFs is limited. This review focuses on outlining the strategies that are currently available for management of this seldomly encountered complication.

Purpose: While initial fixation using a press-fit of the acetabular cup is critical for the durability of the component, restoration of the hip center is regarded as an attributable factor for implant survival and successful outcome. In protrusio acetabuli (PA), obtaining both restoration of the hip center and the press-fit of the acetabular cup simultaneously might be difficult during total hip arthroplasty (THA). We tested the hypothesis that use of a medialized cup, if press-fitted, will not result in compromise of the implant stability and outcome after cementless THA of PA. Materials and Methods: A total of 26 cementless THAs of 22 patients with PA were reviewed. During THA, press-fit of the cup was prioritized rather than hip center restoration. A press-fit was obtained in 24 hips. A pressfit could not be obtained in the two remaining hips; therefore, reinforcement acetabular components were used. Restoration of the hip center was achieved in 17 cups; 15 primary cups and two reinforcement components; it was medialized in nine cups. Implant stability and modified Harris hip score (mHHS) between the two groups were compared at a mean follow-up of 5.1 years (range, 2-16 years). Results: Twenty-six cups; 17 restored cups and nine medialized press-fitted cups, remained stable at the latest follow-up. A similar final mHHS was observed between the restored group and the medialized group (83.6±12.1 vs 83.8±10.4, P=0.786). Conclusion: Implant stability and favorable results were obtained by press-fitted cups, irrespective of hip center restoration. THA in PA patients showed promising clinical and radiological results.

목적: 65세 이상 노인 환자들을 대상으로 세라믹 대퇴 골두 및 교차결합 폴리에틸렌 라이너를 인공 관절면으로 사용한 무시멘트형 인공 고관절 전치환술의 최소 5년 이상 임상 및 방사선 추시 결과들을 분석하여 세라믹-폴리에틸렌 관절면의 유용성 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2010년 3월부터 2012년 9월까지 65세 이상 노인 환자 51명(56 고관절)을 대상으로 후향적 연구를 진행하였다. 평균 연령은 $70.9{\pm}5.1$세였다. 임상 평가는 Harris hip score를 이용하였고, 방사선 평가는 비구 컵 경사각 및 전염각, 대퇴 스템 정렬 상태, 마모를 측정하였다. 수술 후 합병증 발생 유무도 조사하였다. 결과: 임상 평가상 Harris hip score는 수술 전 평균 48점에서 최종 추시 시 평균 87점으로 향상되었다(p<0.05). 방사선 평가상 평균 비구 컵 경사각은 $40.9^{\circ}{\pm}6.4^{\circ}$, 평균 비구 컵 전염각은 $20.3^{\circ}{\pm}8.1^{\circ}$였다. 거상 라이너를 사용한 16예에서 평균 비구 컵 전염각은 $14.3^{\circ}{\pm}7.9^{\circ}$, 중립 라이너를 사용한 40예에서 평균 비구 컵 전염각은 $22.4^{\circ}{\pm}9.1^{\circ}$였다(p<0.05). 평균 대퇴 스템 정렬각은 $0^{\circ}$도(범위, 내반 $4^{\circ}$-외반 $4^{\circ}$)였다. 평균 선상 마모량은 $0.458{\pm}0.041mm$였으며 평균 연간 선상 마모율은 $0.079{\pm}0.032mm/yr$였다. 수술 후 합병증으로 대퇴 스템 주위 골절 6예(10.7%)가 발생하였다. 결론: 본 연구 결과 분석상 탈구나 세라믹-폴리에틸렌 관절면에서 기인한 합병증이 없으므로 65세 이상 노인 환자에서 무시멘트형 인공 고관절 전치환술 시행 시 세라믹-폴리에틸렌 관절면을 유용하게 사용할 수 있으나 수술 중 대퇴 스템 주위 골절 발생을 방지하기 위한 좀 더 세심한 노력이 필요하다.

Using a 3-D finite element method (FEM), the biomechanical characteristics of a threaded truncated acetabular component and a porous coated hemispherical acetabular component were studied. The Von-Mises stress/strain patterns in the acetabulum reconstructed with these two different types of cementless acetabular cups were investigated. The geometry and dimensions of human hemi-pelvis used in the present shape modeling for finite element analysis were scanned with a 3-D laser scanner(TDS-9000, Cyberware, USA). The scanned data was numerically handled with a shape modelling software 'Pro-Engineer'. Using 19836, 16853 tetrahedral elements, respectively, the stress and displacement field of the acetabulum reconstructed with the two different types of the acetabular components were computed. While the hemi-sphere component was found to show a relatively similar stress/strain patterns to those in the normal hip, the results with the threaded cup showed a considerably different patterns from those in the normal condition. Several regions in cancellous bone near the threads and the edge of the truncated cup was found to be overstressed, especially in the superior-lateral part of the acetabulum. It was postulated that the excessive reaming-out of subchondral bone layer when the truncated cup was used can cause the presence of these overstressed regions of cancellous bone. This theoretical prediction for the implanted acetabulum appeared to consistent with the pathological observation of proximal/medial migration of the threaded truncated acetabular prostheses in the previous publications.
