Risk Factors for Deep Infection and Conversion Total Hip Arthroplasty After Operative Combined Pelvic Ring and Acetabular Fractures

Objectives:

To determine risk factors for deep infection and conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) after operative management of combined pelvic ring and acetabular injuries.

Design:

Retrospective case control study.

Setting:

Level 1 trauma center.

Patients and Intervention:

We reviewed 150 operative combined pelvic ring and acetabular injuries at our institution from 2010 to 2019, with an average follow-up of 690 (90–3282) days.

Main Outcome Measurements:

Deep infection and conversion THA.

Results:

Patients who developed deep infection (N = 17, 11.3%) had higher rates of hip dislocation (P = 0.030), intraoperative transfusion (P = 0.030), higher body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.046), increased estimated blood loss (P
