Fixation of a High-Energy Both-Column Acetabular Fracture Using a Lateral Rectus Abdominis Approach Following Total Hip Arthroplasty with Retention of a Stable Acetabular Component: A Case Study
To report a case of a traumatic periprosthetic both-column acetabular fracture after total hip arthroplasty and discuss the surgical management strategy, highlighting its significance in the context of existing literature.
Key Findings:
Intraoperative assessment confirmed the stability of the acetabular cup, which is crucial for surgical planning.
Both columns and quadrilateral surface were successfully reconstructed using contoured reconstruction plates, demonstrating effective surgical technique.
LRAA provided adequate exposure for anatomic reduction and fixation, suggesting its utility in similar cases.
Interpretation:
The case highlights the importance of intraoperative evaluation of acetabular component stability in managing complex acetabular fractures post-THA, contributing valuable insights to surgical practices.
Limitations:
Single case report limits generalizability and may introduce biases.
Long-term outcomes and complications were not discussed, indicating a need for further research in this area.
Conclusion:
When the acetabular cup is stable, the LRAA can facilitate effective fixation of both-column fractures without necessitating revision arthroplasty.
