Sažetak
The intention of this study was to investigate the influence of surgery onto the appearance of the hip joint periarticular
calcification in different groups of patients who suffered the acetabular fracture. A series of 103 patients with the
acetabular fracture was analysed in a retrospective case-control study during a seven-year period. The patients were divided
into two groups. The case group was comprised of 21 patients who were operated on due to the posterior acetabular
wall fracture, while the control group was formed from 82 patients who underwent conservative treatment and who suffered
complex acetabular fracture. To obtain the results, the rate and grade of the hip joint post-injury periarticular calcification
formation were observed and analysed. They were considerably lower in patients from the case group who were
operated on, compared to patients from the control group where the hip joint arthrosis was more common. In conclusion,
considering the results of this paper, the rate and grade of the hip joint osteodegenerative changes may be highly decreased
by surgery in patients who sustained the acetabular fracture.
