Rising incidence of acute total hip arthroplasty for primary and adjunctive treatment of acetabular fracture in older and middle-aged adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be an alternative or an adjuvant to internal fixation for surgical treatment of acetabular fractures. We investigate recent trends in the operative management of acetabular fractures. We hypothesize that the incidence of acute THA for acetabular fractures has increased over time.

Methods

4569 middle-aged (45-64 years) and older adults (≥ 65 years) who received acute operative management of an acetabular fracture within 3 weeks of admission between 2010 and 2020 were identified from the United States Nationwide Inpatient Sample database. Treatment was classified as open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), THA, or combined ORIF and THA (ORIF + THA). Patients were stratified by age ≥ 65 years old. Associations between demographi
