Acute Acetabular Protrusion: the Hardinge Approach for Implant Removal and One-stage Hip Reconstruction

We present the case of a 76-year-old man referred to our institution for reconstructive surgery following acute pelvic penetration of the acetabular shell during total hip arthroplasty. We used a single-stage Hardinge approach to retrieve the shell and successfully reconstruct the acetabulum. Specific indications for using this method are proposed. In carefully selected cases of intrapelvic implants, a single-stage method can improve patient outcomes while minimising unnecessary risks associated with the conventional two-stage approach.PMID:38088100 | DOI:10.5604/01.3001.0053.9674
