LUCERO, Carlos M. et al. Artrosis rápidamente progresiva de cadera secundaria a una fractura por insuficiencia subcondral del acetábulo. Reporte de un caso. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2021, vol.86, n.2, pp.228-234. ISSN 1852-7434. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.15417/issn.1852-7434.2021.86.2.1090.
Subchondral insufficiency fractures are a rare cause of hip pain. Unlike acute traumatic fractures, acetabulum insufficiency fractures are less common than femoral fractures. They commonly occur in postmenopausal women with comorbidities. Its initial diagnosis is usually difficult and clinical suspicion is of great importance. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a fundamental tool for the detection of this pathology. Underestimating these injuries can lead to the development of rapidly progressive osteoarthritis and joint replacement as an outcome. We present the case of a 68-year-old patient with a subchondral insufficiency fracture of the acetabulum who underwent uncemented total hip arthroplasty.
