Acetabular fractures can be classified into 5 simple and 5 associated fracture patterns. [] Key Method Twelve patients (9 men and 3 women) were included in the study. Mean patient age was 38.6 years (range, 24-47 years). Minimum follow-up was more than 2 years postoperatively. Reconstruction of the fracture included anatomic reduction of the fracture and fixation with a buttress plate for the posterior column and a prebent one-third tubular plate for the quadrilateral plate fracture. Clinical results were…

A new internal fixation technique for acetabular fractures involving the quadrilateral plate.
A study on fracture lines of the quadrilateral plate based on fracture mapping
TLDR
Observation of the fracture lines of the quadrilateral plate based on fracture mapping can help orthopedic surgeons to enhance the understanding of the Judet-Letournel classification, which may have some significant guidance on the choice of operation approach and the design of internal fixation devices.
The use of Verbrugge forceps for reduction of the posterior column element in displaced acetabular fractures: clinical and radiological evaluation
TLDR
The use of the conventional large Verbrugge bone-holding forceps for the reduction of the posterior column element in displaced acetabular fractures using the Kocher–Langenbeck approach is a safe, effective, time-saving, and technically undemanding procedure.
A new navigational apparatus for fixation of acetabular posterior column fractures with percutaneous retrograde lagscrew
TLDR
This guide apparatus was proved effective for percutaneous retrograde lag screw fixation of posterior column acetabular fractures by the experiments with the pelvic and cadaveric specimens and its safety and accuracy were experimentally validated.
A reduction clamp for an aiming component in associated acetabular fractures
TLDR
This reduction clamp can successfully pull the posterior column back to the anterior column and firmly maintain the reduction and is a useful instrument that can facilitate open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures.
Reduction of Posterior Column in Displaced Acetabular Fractures Using Bone Holding Forceps
TLDR
A new technique for reduction of displaced acetabular fracture anatomically using the large bone holding forceps has the advantage of other instruments, correcting displacement and rotation in one step without using an adjuvant instrument or narrowing the corridor for the plate application on the posterior surface.
Radiographic Measurement of Displacement in Acetabular Fractures: A Systematic Review of the Literature
TLDR
The current standard of measuring radiographic displacement in publications dealing with acetabulum fractures almost universally lacks basic description, making further scientific rigor, such as testing reproducibility, impossible.
3D printing utility for surgical treatment of acetabular fractures.
Controlled study on Gamma nail and proximal femoral locking plate for unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures with broken lateral wall
TLDR
Both the gamma nail and PFLP were effective for unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures with a broken lateral wall, however, early weight bearing on the fractures was not encouraged in patients treated with PFLPs.
A combination of three-dimensional printing and computer-assisted virtual surgical procedure for preoperative planning of acetabular fracture reduction.

Reconstruction of comminuted posterior wall fractures using the buttress technique: a review of 32 fractures
TLDR
Reconstruction of comminuted posterior wall acetabular fractures by buttress technique can be expected to produce good results and can provide a stable fixation of the posterior wall amenable to early range of motion and weight bearing.
Fractures of posterior wall of acetabulum
TLDR
Congruent reduction was the key in obtaining satisfactory results in the management of these fractures, and the incidence of late complications was high, but the functional results were generally satisfactory.
Internal fracture fixation using the Stoppa approach in pelvic ring and acetabular fractures: technical aspects and operative results.
TLDR
The modified Stoppa approach allows an adequate exposure and good postoperative results for treatment of pelvic ring fractures and acetabular fractures that are eligible for an anterior approach.
Acetabular fracture fixation via a modified Stoppa limited intrapelvic approach. Description of operative technique and preliminary treatment results.
TLDR
The modified Stoppa incision offers the experienced trauma surgeon a new approach for fixation of displaced acetabular fractures and may decrease the rate of complications associated with extrapelvic or extensile approaches.
Comminuted fractures of the posterior wall of the acetabulum. A biomechanical evaluation of fixation methods.
TLDR
Under simulated weight-bearing, the stiffness of fixation of the transversely comminuted fractures that had been achieved with use of a reconstruction plate and screws was significantly higher than that achieved with fixation with screws alone (p < 0.05).

Management of displaced fractures of the acetabulum represents one of the greatest challenges in fracture surgery. This study reports intermediate term results for a single surgeon of 163 fractures…
Clinical failure after posterior wall acetabular fractures: the influence of initial fracture patterns.
TLDR
Poor outcomes after open reduction and internal fixation are associated with certain types of posterior wall fracture patterns and these patients more commonly had fractures with comminution of three fragments or more.
Reconstruction of Acetabular Posterior Wall Fractures
TLDR
This study confirms that three-step reconstruction facilitates accurate and firm reduction of displaced posterior wall fractures of the acetabulum and anticipates less long-term arthrosis in the patients treated this way.

Acetabular Depression Fracture Accompanying Posterior Fracture Dislocation of the Hip
TLDR
It is concluded that this variant of the posterior fracture dislocation of the hip occurs in a significant percentage of these injuries and its presence may be an indication for open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture.
