Improving the Accuracy of Acetabular Component Orientation: Avoiding Malposition
NULL J Am Acad Orthop Surg, Vol 18, No 5 Joseph T. Moskal, MD and Susan G. Capps, PhD Improper acetabular component orientation negatively affects the outcome of total hip arthroplasty through increasing dislocation rates, component impingement, bearing surface wear, and the number of revision surgeries. Leg length, hip biomechanics, pelvic osteolysis, and acetabular component […]
Hip Dislocation: Evaluation and Management
J Am Acad Orthop Surg, Vol 18, No 4, April 2010 David M. Foulk, MD and Brian H. Mullis, MD A simple hip dislocation is one without fracture of the proximal femur or acetabulum. Complex fracture-dislocations involve the acetabulum, femoral head, or femoral neck. The incidence of posttraumatic arthritis is much lower in simple dislocations […]

Management of Hemorrhage in Life-threatening Pelvic Fracture
David J. Hak, MD, MBA, Wade R. Smith, MD and Takashi Suzuki, MD J Am Acad Orthop Surg, Vol 17, No 7, July 2009, Emergent life-saving treatment is required for high-energy pelvic fracture with associated hemorrhage and hemodynamic instability. Advances in prehospital, interventional, surgical, and critical care have led to increased survival rates. Pelvic binders […]
Anterior Iliopsoas Impingement and Tendinitis After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Paul F. Lachiewicz, MD and Justin R. Kauk, MD J Am Acad Orthop Surg, Vol 17, No 6, June 2009, Anterior iliopsoas impingement and tendinitis is a poorly understood and likely underrecognized cause of groin pain and functional disability after total hip arthroplasty. The patient history and physical examination findings are usually only suggestive, and […]
