    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    ARTICLE ENTITLED ¿REVERSE REAMING DISTRACTION FOR ACETABULAR RECONSTRUCTION OF CHRONIC PELVIC DISCONTINUITY" WRITTEN BY JING-YANG SUN, MING NI, HAI-YANG MA, YIN-QIAO DU, JUN-MIN SHEN, JI-YING CHEN, YONG-GANG ZHOU, AND GUO-GIANG ZHANG, PUBLISHED BY JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND RESEARCH, 24 MAY 2020, WAS REVIEWED. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO DESCRIBE A MODIFIED DISTRACTION TECHNIQUE AND TO SHOW OUR RESULTS. THE ACETABULAR DISTRACTION TECHNIQUE DEMONSTRATES ENCOURAGING RADIOGRAPHIC AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN TREATING CHRONIC PELVIC DISCONTINUITY. THIS STUDY IDENTIFIED 12 CASES OF CHRONIC PELVIC DISCONTINUITY UNDERGOING PRIMARY OR REVISION TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY (THA) WITH THE TECHNIQUE OF REVERSE REAMING DISTRACTION BETWEEN JULY 2015 AND NOVEMBER 2018. ALL 12 PATIENTS HAD A MINIMUM FOLLOW-UP OF 12 MONTHS. RADIOGRAPHS WERE REVIEWED TO INSPECT FOR COMPONENT LOOSENING. CLINICAL ASSESSMENT INCLUDED THE HARRIS HIP SCORE (HHS) AND AN AMBULATORY SCORING SYSTEM. AT THE TIME OF FINAL FOLLOW-UP, NO PATIENT WAS REVISED. ONE PATIENT HAD UP TO 1 CM MIGRATION OF THE CUP IN A HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL DIRECTION AND MORE THAN 20° CHANGE IN THE ABDUCTION ANGLE BUT WAS ASYMPTOMATIC. IN THE REMAINING 11 PATIENTS, NO MIGRATION OF THE COMPONENT WAS DETECTED. BOTH THE HHS AND AMBULATORY SCORE SHOWED IMPROVEMENT IN ALL PATIENTS. THERE WERE NO PERIOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS. NO POSTOPERATIVE DISLOCATION OCCURRED. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT REVERSE REAMING DISTRACTION IS A FEASIBLE TECHNIQUE IN TREATMENT OF CHRONIC PELVIC DISCONTINUITY, WITH ENCOURAGING RESULTS AT EARLY TERM. HOWEVER, ONGOING FOLLOW-UP IS REQUIRED TO DETERMINE THE LONG-TERM PROGNOSIS IN PATIENTS RECEIVING THIS TECHNIQUE. ADVERSE EVENTS NOTED IN THIS ARTICLE INCLUDED: ACETABULAR MIGRATION/ ACETABULAR CUP LOOSENING AT BONE/IMPLANT INTERFACE. THIS STUDY INCLUDED COMPETITOR HIPS, AS WELL AS DEPUY PINNACLE GRIPTION CUP. THERE WAS NO INDICATION PROVIDED AS TO WHICH HIP HAD THE MIGRATION ISSUE, SO IT WILL BE REPORTED AS DEPUY.
