Risk factors for acetabular fracture treatment failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Acetabular fractures can lead to persistent pain and disability. Managing these complex injuries involves several treatment options such as nonoperative methods, percutaneous fixation, open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), and total hip arthroplasty (THA), and various combinations of these techniques. Around 20 to 40% of patients treated with ORIF may develop post-traumatic arthritis requiring THA. To pinpoint the factors contributing to initial treatment failure of acetabular fractures and the subsequent need for THA conversion, we are conducting a systematic review of relevant literature.

Methods

A thorough search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase databases yielded studies investigating risk factors linked to the conversion of acetabular fractur
