There are no detailed reports of the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in pelvic and acetabular fractures in the Asian population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of VTE in pelvic and acetabular fractures in the Japanese population. ⋯ We should be vigilant for the high incidence of VTE, especially PTE, in patients with pelvic and acetabular fractures in the Japanese population.

The aim of this study was to investigate the pain patterns in patients with end-stage hip disease and to assess the response after total hip arthroplasty (THA). ⋯ The distribution of pain from end-stage hip diseases is versatile, and presence of pain in areas other than around the hip is not uncommon. LBP was more common in patients with longer duration of symptoms. THA satisfactorily resolves the pain in all areas soon after surgery.
