Surgical repair of posterior-wall/column acetabular fractures:surgical approaches and results

摘要

Although outcome studies of posterior acetabular fractures have shown a good outcome can be achieved in greater than 80% of cases, there are a number of complications that must be avoided. The eventual outcome of these fractures has been shown to be correlated with patient age, fracture pattern, and tho presence of associated injuries. Additionally, factors such as fracture reduction and avoidance of iatrogenic injury have also been shown to influence outcome and are directly controlled by the operative surgeon.
