Acetabular Fracture after Hip Hemiarthroplasty: One Stage Procedure to a Total Hip Arthroplasty after Stabilization of the Fracture by Means of Cerclage Wires

摘要

Introduction:Hip fractures in the elderly pose an increasing problem in society. In the elderly, a bipolar hemiarthroplasty (HA) remains the treatment of choice in case of hip fractures related to osteoporosis. However, due to an ongoing osteoporosis in this age group, a periprosthetic femoral fracture and a fracture of the unresurfaced acetabulum are increasingly noticed.In the literature, no information can be found regarding the treatment options for this kind of periprosthetic acetabular fracture.
