Abstract

A series of 14 total hip arthroplasties with a Müller acetabular supporting ring including 3 primary and 11 revision arthroplasties is reviewed. This device was used in cases of acetabular bone deficiency, and bone graft was added in 11 cases. The mean length of follow-up was 39.9 months. Twelve patients had good or satisfactory results, while two operations failed. These results indicate that the acetabular supporting ring is a useful implant in cases with acetabular bone stock deficiency.

A prospective evaluation of the timing of postoperative radiotherapy for preventing heterotopic ossification following traumatic acetabular fractures.

PURPOSE: Preoperative and immediate postoperative irradiation of traumatic acetabular fractures (TAF), although known to reduce heterotopic ossification (HO), can cause significant organizational and logistic difficulties. We sought to determine an acceptable time interval between surgery and radiation without compromising control, as well as to update our large experience and to further validate our treatment philosophy. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Beginning in June 1995, we began a prospective study, irradiating 152 patients on postoperative days 1, 2, or 3. There were also 17 patients delayed further secondary to medical difficulties. RESULTS: All patients treated since June 1995 received 700 cGy/1 fx. Fifty-eight patients received radiation within 24 hours of surgery, 41 within 2 days, 53 within 3 days, 13 within 4 days, and 4 were delayed further. Delaying irradiation for up to 4 days postoperatively caused no statistical increase in HO (p = 0.625). Of 263 patients in our retrospective cohort, HO occurred in 5.3% of patients who received irradiation versus 60% of patients who did not. CONCLUSION: In our prospective study, we noted no perceptible increase in HO with up to a 3-day interval between surgery and radiotherapy. This allows a more structured treatment schedule and allows the patient more time to heal and recover. Updated results from our overall series continue to demonstrate that adjuvant radiation decreases the incidence and severity of HO after TAF.

The acetabulum: sex assessment of prehistoric New Zealand Polynesian innominates.

With increasing urban development in New Zealand, prehistoric Polynesian skeletal remains are frequently being recovered. Since such material must often be reinterred quickly, it has become important that the sex of individuals be determined from the remains in a relatively short time. For this purpose, discriminant function analysis was utilised for sex determination of prehistoric adult New Zealand Polynesian innominates (21 male and 35 female). Maximum diameter of the acetabulum was measured and subjected to SPSS direct discriminant function analysis. Accuracy of sex determination ranged from 85.2% to 86.2%. Reduction in error over random assignment by sex ranged from 70% to 72%. The two discriminant functions derived will provide a useful tool for the assessment of human remains in the forensic and archaeological context because they incorporate a single measurement which can be taken on incomplete bones.

Association of mild acetabular dysplasia with an increased risk of incident hip osteoarthritis in elderly white women: the study of osteoporotic fractures.

OBJECTIVE: To determine if acetabular dysplasia increases the risk of incident hip osteoarthritis (OA) among elderly white women. METHODS: Baseline and followup anteroposterior pelvic radiographs were obtained a mean of 8 years apart, and read for individual radiographic features (IRFs) of hip OA; summary grades (0-4) were then assigned based on the IRFs present. Acetabular dysplasia was defined by the results of measurements of the acetabular depth (<9 mm) or the center-edge angle (<30 degrees). Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association between acetabular dysplasia and incident hip OA, and all analyses were adjusted for age, current weight, body mass index, affected side, and investigational site. RESULTS: The odds ratios for the association of abnormal center-edge angle and acetabular dysplasia with incident hip OA were 3.3 (95% confidence interval 1.1-10.1) and 2.8 (95% confidence interval 1.0-7.9), respectively. CONCLUSION: Acetabular dysplasia, defined by a decrease in the center-edge angle, is associated with a modestly increased risk of incident hip OA in elderly white women.
