Long-term total hip arthroplasty rates in patients with acetabular and pelvic fractures after surgery: A population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE:Osteoarthritis typically develops after surgery for traumatic fractures of the acetabulum and may result in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We conducted a population-based retrospective study to investigate the incidence of THA after treatment of acetabular, pelvic, and combined acetabular and pelvic fractures with open reduction-internal fixation surgery compared with that in the control group. DESIGN:A retrospective population-based cohort study. SETTING:Data were gathered from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. PARTICIPANTS:We enrolled 3041 patients with acetabular fractures, 5618 with pelvic fractures, and 733 with combined pelvic and acetabular fractures between January 1, 1997, and December 31, 2013, totaling 9392 individuals.
