RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: As one of the most challenging fractures to orthopedic surgeons, acetabular fractures show a wide range of incidence among countries and regions with even more variance in the treatment modalities. In this study, we aimed to investigate the epidemiology of acetabular fractures, and to compare the rate of subsequent total hip arthroplasty (THA) between nonoperative and operative treatments in South Korea using a medical claims database. METHODS: This was a retrospective study using the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment database. Patients admitted for acetabular fractures from January 2007 to December 2018 were identified using International Classification of Diseases-10 codes. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the cumulative incidence of THA between two groups. We also evaluated the survivorship of operative group according to the type of institutions. RESULTS: The incidence rate of acetabular fractures increased by 28% between 2007 and 2018. Acetabular fractures were more common in men (62%) than women (38%), and most common in the patients older than 80 years. The number of acetabular fractures was estimated to increase 1.7-fold in 2030 compared to 2018. Operative treatment accounted for 16% of cases, and nonoperative treatment for 84%. The incidence of subsequent THA was higher in the operative treatment group than in the nonoperative group (P < 0.001). The higher rate in the operative treatment group is probably related with the severity of the fracture type. The rate of subsequent THA was higher in patients who initially treated in general hospitals compared with those who were initially treated in tertiary hospitals. CONCLUSION: The incidence of acetabular fractures is increasing in South Korea, in line with global trends. Most acetabular fractures are treated conservatively, and those who receive surgery are more likely to require a subsequent THA. Patients who were operated in general hospitals had highest possibility of subsequent THA after acetabular fractures.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated considerable potential in tissue repair and the treatment of immune-related diseases, but there are problems with homing efficiency during MSCs transplantation. Exercise, as an intervention, has been shown to have an important impact on the properties of MSCs. This review summarizes the effects of exercise on the properties (including proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and homing) of bone marrow-derived MSCs and adipose-derived MSCs. Studies indicated that exercise enhances bone marrow-derived MSCs proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and homing while reducing adipogenic differentiation. For adipose-derived MSCs, exercise enhances proliferation and reduces adipogenic differentiation. In addition, studies have investigated the therapeutic effects of combined therapy of MSCs transplantation with exercise on diseases of the bone, cardiac, and nervous systems. The combined therapy improves tissue repair by increasing the homing of transplanted MSCs and cytokine secretion (such as neurotrophin 4). Furthermore, MSCs transplantation also has potential for the treatment of obesity. Although the effect is not significant in weight loss, MSCs transplantation shows effects in controlling blood glucose, improving dyslipidemia, reducing inflammation, and improving liver disease. Finally, the potential role of combined MSCs transplantation and exercise therapy in addressing obesity is discussed.
