Comment on Sen et al.: Posterior wall reconstruction using iliac crest strut graft in severely comminuted posterior acetabular wall fracture.

摘要

We read with interest the article entitled "Posterior wall reconstruction using iliac crest strut graft in severely comminuted posterior acetabular wall fracture" [6]. In the study, the authors used iliac crest strut graft for reconstruction of the comminuted posterior acetabular wall fracture. A series of eight patients were evaluated clinically by Merle d'Aubigne and Postel score and radiologically by Matta score at their final follow-up. The outcome after a mean follow-up of 3.34 years (minimum two years and maximum five years) showed a good-to-excellent result in seven patients (87.5%) clinically and in five patients (62.5%) radiologically [6].
