Abstract:
We reviewed the outcome, at a mean follow-up of 14 months, of 21 two-column fractures of the acetabulum treated by operation through one or two non-extensile approaches. Eighteen procedures resulted in reduction of the articular surfaces to within 3 mm. The blood loss and operating time when two combined non-extensile approaches were used were similar to those reported for extended acetabular approaches. The incidence of heterotopic ossification which limited joint motion was low, and the average Harris hip score was 81 points. The use of non-extensile approaches for acetabular fractures in which both columns are involved avoids iatrogenic injury to the abductors, and reduces the incidence of complications.
