대퇴 삽입물 주위 골절은 고관절 치환술 후 발생하는 가장 치료하기 어려운 합병증 중 하나이며, 만족스러운 치료 결과를 얻으려면 면밀한 임상 및 방사선 사진 평가, 정확한 분류 및 치료 원칙에 대한 이해가 필수적이다. Vancouver 분류 시스템은 이러한 삽입물 주위 골절의 치료를 계획하기 위한 간단하고 효과적인 방법이다. 대퇴 스템이 안정된 골절은 견고한 내고정으로 효과적으로 치료할 수 있지만 대퇴 스템 해리가 동반된 경우 삽입물 주위 대퇴 골절은 재치환술이 필요하다. 고관절 치환술 후 발생할 수 있는 삽입물 주위 대퇴 골절 환자의 치료 원리와 대퇴 스템의 안정성을 평가하는 방법에 대해 설명하고자 한다.

CT is a diagnostic tool with many clinical applications. The CT voxel intensity is related to the magnitude of X-ray attenuation, which is not unique to a given material. Substances with different chemical compositions can be represented by similar voxel intensities, making the classification of different tissue types challenging. Compared to the conventional single-energy CT, spectral CT is an emerging technology offering superior material differentiation, which is achieved using the energy dependence of X-ray attenuation in any material. A specific form of spectral CT is dual-energy imaging, in which an additional X-ray attenuation measurement is obtained at a second X-ray energy. Dual-energy CT has been implemented in clinical settings with great success. This paper reviews the theoretical basis and practical implementation of spectral/dual-energy CT.

Purpose: The purpose was to examine the clinical and radiological outcomes after surgical treatment of acetabular fractures with total hip arthroplasty with a dual mobility cup cemented into a porous multihole cup in the population of frail elderly patients. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 16 patients who underwent surgery (mean age, 76.7 years) with a mean follow-up period of 36.9 months was conducted. Following surgery, patients underwent postoperative follow-up at six weeks, three, six, and 12 months and clinical and radiological examinations were performed. Results: Classification of fractures was based on the Letournel classification. Following surgery, all patients were allowed weight-bearing as tolerated immediately postoperative. Fourteen patients showed maintenance of preoperative mobility status at one year. The mean Harris hip score was 64.8 (range, 34.7-82.8) and 80.0 (range, 60.8-93.8) at three months and one year, respectively. The mortality rate was 12.5% at one year (2/16). Complications included heterotopic ossification (2/16), deep venous thrombosis (1/16), heamatoma (1/16), and femoral revision due to a Vancouver B2 fracture (1/16). No case of deep infection, dislocation, or implant loosening was reported. Conclusion: Total hip arthroplasty using a dual mobility cup cemented into a porous multihole cup with locking screws resulted in a stable construct with a capacity for immediate weight-bearing as tolerated with rapid relief of pain. The findings of this study suggest that this procedure can be regarded as a safe method that has shown promising clinical and radiological outcomes for treatment of patients with medical frailty.
