Total hip arthroplasty for posttraumatic osteoarthritis secondary to acetabular fracture: An evidence based on 1,284 patients from 1970 to 2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) can be a crippling sequela of acetabular fracture (AF), and total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often necessary to alleviate the clinical progression of symptoms. The purpose of this study was to summarize the existing clinical evidence concerning the surgical management of AF with THA through meta-analyses.

Methods

Databases were searched for articles published between 1995 and January 2022 that contained the keywords "acetabular," "fracture," "arthroplasty," and "osteoarthritis." Our study was registered in PROSPERO under number CRD42022314997.

Results

We screened 3,125 studies and included data from 31 studies with 1,284 patients. The median patient age at the time of THA was 52 years and ranged from 19 to 94 years. The po
