Single-stage Total Hip Arthroplasty and Fixation of Acetabulum Fracture in Patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Abstract

Herein, is the described the case of a 60-year-old male with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), presenting with an acetabulum fracture after low-energy trauma. Due to poor bone quality, the fracture configuration was unusual from a typical type of acetabulum fracture. This patient had severe impaction of articular on the femoral head and acetabulum, which was an unusual configuration pattern within the normal population. Definitive management required both fixation of the acetabulum, together with total hip replacement, with concerns in the quality of fixation.
