Measure
Vitagel and Standard of Care
The group of patients will receive the vitagel topical surgical hemostat spray intra-operatively, along with all the other standards of care. Vitagel: Vitagel (by Stryker) is a topical surgical hemostat spray that results in coagulation. The components are as follows: autogenous blood is drawn and centrifuged to produce a sample of platelets and growth factors; this is combined with a bovine thrombin and collagen solution. When the two are applied together, it produces the hemostatic effect. Standard of care: Standard of care for hemostasis in acetabular surgery includes electrocautery/ligation of bleeding vessels, fracture reduction and stabilization, cell-saver, lap packing.
Standard of Care
This group of patients will receive the standard of care for hemostasis in acetabular surgery (electrocautery/ligation of bleeding vessels, fracture reduction and stabilization, cell-saver, lap packing). They will not receive the vitagel product. Standard of care: Standard of care for hemostasis in acetabular surgery includes electrocautery/ligation of bleeding vessels, fracture reduction and stabilization, cell-saver, lap packing.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: at the time of discharge (about 2 weeks after surgery)

The number of wound complications (dehiscence, infection) or the need to return to the operating to address a wound complication will be recorded. Wound complications will be recorded from the day of surgery until an average of two weeks post-operatively (this study is an acute care study, so no data will be collected after the initial hospital stay).
