Radiation-Induced Bilateral Hip Osteonecrosis and Acetabular Fractures
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The case report talks about the surgical treatment of bilateral hip osteonecrosis after radiotherapy. The literature is poor on the subject even if a cause-effect correlation is described between radiotherapy and bone necrosis. This clinical case underlines the correlation between pelvic irradiation and radiation-induced fractures due to bone weakening. The evaluation about choice and survival of the implant used is interesting for future comparisons and surgical approach.
