OBJECTIVE: Radiotherapy (RT) is effective in preventing heterotopic ossification
(HO) around acetabular fractures requiring surgical reconstruction. We audited
outcomes and estimated risks from RT prophylaxis, and alternatives of indometacin
or no prophylaxis. METHODS: 34 patients underwent reconstruction of acetabular
fractures through a posterior approach, followed by a 8-Gy single fraction. The
mean age was 44 years. The mean time from surgery to RT was 1.1 days. The major
RT risk is radiation-induced fatal cancer. The International Commission on
Radiological Protection (ICRP) method was used to estimate risk, and compared
with a method (Trott and Kemprad) specifically for estimating RT risk for benign
disease. These were compared with risks associated with indometacin and no
prophylaxis. RESULTS: 28 patients (82%) developed no HO; 6 developed Brooker
Class I; and none developed Class II-IV HO. The ICRP method suggests a risk of
fatal cancer in the range of 1 in 1000 to 1 in 10,000; the Trott and Kemprad
method suggests 1 in 3000. For younger patients, this may rise to 1 in 2000; and
for elderly patients, it may fall to 1 in 6000. The risk of death from gastric
bleeding or perforation from indometacin is 1 in 180 to 1 in 900 in older
patients. Without prophylaxis risk of death from reoperation to remove HO is 1 in
4000 to 1 in 30,000. CONCLUSION: These results are encouraging, consistent with
much larger series and endorse our multidisciplinary management. Risk estimates
can be used in discussion with patients. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The risk from RT
prophylaxis is small, it is safer than indometacin and substantially overlaps
with the range for no prophylaxis.
