A retrospective evaluation was performed of 36 patients (25 males and 11 females; average age, 44 years) with displaced acetabular fractures who were treated with a modified Stoppa approach. Fractures included 18 anterior columns, 2 both columns, 8 anterior columns with posterior hemitransverse, 6 transverse, and 2 T-type, according to the Judet and Letournel classification. Range of motion, Ha...

PURPOSE To compare the efficacy and safety of open reduction and internal fixation through ilioinguinal approach and Stoppa approach for the treatment of displaced acetabular fractures. METHODS Case-controlled trials (CCTs) published from January 2010 to August 2015 that compared the ilioinguinal approach and Stoppa approach in the management of displaced acetabular fractures were retrieved f...

background: anterior pelvic ring surgery includes a variety of plating techniques and insertion of retrograde superior pubic ramus screws. anterior acetabular surgery also includes fixation through an ilioinguinal or stoppa approach. these exposures risk injury to the spermatic cord and accompanying genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve. the primary aim of this study was to identify the dis...

Pediatric acetabular fractures are rare, and anterior column fractures are even rarer. Generally, conservative treatment is applied. If there is displacement of more than 2 mm or findings of instability or fragments within the joint, then surgical treatment is applied. Anterior and posterior approaches may be used in surgical treatment. With pediatric patients, even greater care should be taken...
