The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of non-selective
and selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in
preventing heterotopic ossification (HO) after total hip arthroplasty
(THA). A thorough and systematic literature search was conducted and
29 studies were found that met inclusion criteria. Data were extracted
and statistical analysis was carried out generating forest plots.Aims
Methods
We measured bone mineral density (BMD) in the proximal femur by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in 20 patients after cemented

We made a retrospective study of 55 primary total hip arthroplasties in 53 patients with a history of previous acetabular fracture. The mean follow-up was 7.5 years and the average age at fracture was 48.7 years. The incidence of radiographic femoral loosening (29.4%), symptomatic loosening (15.7%), and femoral revision (7.8%) were similar to those previously reported at 10 years for routine arthroplasties by Stauffer (1982). On the acetabular side, the incidence of radiographic loosening (52.9%), symptomatic loosening (27.5%), and revision (13.7%) were four to five times higher. We conclude that a history of prior acetabular fracture has a significant adverse impact on the long-term outcome of any subsequent
