Abstract
An 85-year-old man underwent hemiarthroplasty for a left intertrochanteric femoral fracture at another hospital two years prior. While under outpatient monitoring, the left femur displacement occurred. Therefore, total hip arthroplasty of the left hip was scheduled. However, during acetabular cup insertion damage to the inner plate led to a sudden decrease in blood pressure from 120 to 60 mmHg. The physicians suspected a pelvic vascular injury and promptly stopped the procedure. In case of adhesion between the acetabular cup and the left iliac vein, intraoperative vascular damage would be repaired via endovascular intervention. Subsequently, orthopedic surgery was cautiously performed, taking into account the potential of a vascular injury. The surgery proceeded as planned without vascular intervention. This case involved a patient with suspected injury to the iliac vein and artery during acetabular cup placement. Following comprehensive enhanced CT and angiography tests, orthopedic surgery was performed in preparation for potential vascular damage, demonstrating the multidisciplinary approach to managing such cases.
