background:management of acetabular fractures in the senior population can be one of the most challenging injuries tomanage. furthermore, treating surgeons have a paucity of information to guide the treatment in this patient population.the purpose of this study was to determine: (1) demographic and epidemiologic data, (2) mortality rates for nonoperativecompared to operative management at diffe...

Funda TAŞTEKİN AKSU Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Anatomi Anabilim Dalı 35340 İnciraltı, İZMIR Tel: (232) 4124361 e-posta: [email protected] SUMMARY Acetabulum is a hemispherical cavity on the medial part of the hip joint. Anterior acetabular ridge’s morphology is clinically important during total hip arthroplasty. Additionally the depth and diameter of the acetabulum are impor...

PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to assess the presence of cam and pincer morphology in asymptomatic individuals with a negative femoroacetabular impingement test, and to determine and compare the ranges of alpha angle using two measurement methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 68 consecutive patients who underwent abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) for reasons other than hip p...

OBJECTIVES To develop comprehensive and reliable radiation-free methods to quantify femoral and acetabular morphology using MRI. METHODS 32 hips (16 subjects, 6 with intra-articular hip disorder (IAHD); 10 controls) were included. A 1.5T magnetic resonance system was used to obtain 3D fat suppressed gradient echo images at the pelvis and distal femora. After acquisition, pelvic images were po...

conclusions a neglected hip dislocation with acetabular fracture can be managed satisfactorily with uncemented thr. bone reconstruction using chunk grafts and use of cementless components ensures long-term survival and also preserves adequate bone stock for revision, especially in young patients. introduction posterior hip dislocation of the hip with acetabular fracture is a challenging problem...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Acetabular retroversion may result in anterior acetabular over-coverage and posterior deficiency. It is unclear how standard radiographic measures of retroversion relate to measurements from 3D models, generated from volumetric CT data. We sought to: (1) compare 2D radiographic measurements between patients with acetabular retroversion and normal control subjects, (2) com...

BACKGROUND Double pelvic osteotomy (DPO) planning is usually performed by hip palpation, and on radiographic images which give a poor representation of the complex three-dimensional manoeuvre required during surgery. Furthermore, bone strains which play a crucial role cannot be foreseen. OBJECTIVE To support surgeons and designers with biomechanical guidelines through a virtual model that wou...

BACKGROUND We performed a retrospective study to evaluate the results of acetabular circumferential medial wall osteotomy, a procedure designed to provide secure fixation of a cementless hemispherical acetabular cup for the sequelae of septic arthritis of the hip. METHODS We assessed 38 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) with circumferential acetabular medial wall osteotomies performed on patien...
