Abstract
Abstract
Purposes
Acetabular fractures are more and more common in the elderly. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) may lead to poor outcomes and high revision rates. Primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) combined with internal fixation, also known as the combined hip procedure (CHP), associated with dual mobility cup (DM-CHP) could be an efficient procedure in selected elderly patients. The aim of this study is to compare functional and radiological outcomes between ORIF and DM-CHP.
Methods
Between 2007 and 2018, 51 patients older than 65 years were surgically treated for acetabular fractures. Twenty-six patients were treated by DM-CHP and 25 by ORIF. Each group was divided into two subgroups regarding a single or combined approach. Hospital stay, surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, and complications were documented. The Harris Hip Score (HHS) was used for measuring the functional outcome. Radiological analysis was used to assess the centre of rotation in the DM-CHP group.
Results
Median surgery time and intra-operative blood loss were higher in DM-CHP than those in ORIF. Early medical complication rate was higher for a combined approach as compared with a single posterior approach in DM-CHP (p = 0.003). Dislocation rate was 7.7% in DM-CHP. Revision rate was higher in ORIF (20% versus 7.7%). HHS was similar in both groups.
Conclusions
DM-CHP leads to similar functional outcomes and less revision than ORIF. This study strengthens the practice of using only the posterior approach for primary THA in the elderly. Dual mobility is a valid therapeutic option for acetabular fractures in elderly patients.
