Study Summary
One complication that can occur after surgery on the acetabulum is the development of bone in abnormal places such as muscle and soft tissues. There is some evidence that a single dose of radiation to the surgical site within 3 days of surgery will prevent this abnormal bone from forming. However, there are no high quality studies proving that radiation works any better than doing nothing at all. The purpose of our study is to determine whether there is a difference in abnormal bone formation after acetabular surgery when patients are treated with external beam irradiation versus no treatment.
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Debridement
- PROCEDURE External Beam Radiation (XRT)
