Outcome for Patients with Acetabular Fractures Treated Using Only Modified Stoppa Approach or in Combination with Iliac Wing Approach: 10-Year Experience

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY This retrospective study presents our experience in treatment of polytrauma patients with acetabular fractures treated only modified Stoppa approach or combination iliac wing approach. The purpose this was to evaluate the outcome operated MATERIAL AND METHODS Polytrauma who suffered from hospital during 2008-2018, by using approach, were included study. evaluated Majeed score. Cases hip replacement due post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) summarized. group compared control group, which through ilioinguinal RESULTS We examined 42 (12 women and 30 men; mean age 44 years). Anatomical satisfactory fracture healing achieved 92% fractures. In score significantly better (p<0.05). Seven had PTOA following results - 5 (13%) anatomical reduction 2 (50%) displacement more than 3 mm all reductions DISCUSSION patients, risk development severe is increased because high-energy trauma impact a acetabulum does not always protect against necessity for total replacement. CONCLUSIONS Our its shows that these techniques provide reduction, gain mostly good radiological functional results, may decrease symptomatic both column suggest unsatisfactory an strong predictor PTOA, arthroplasty.
