Article Synopsis
- * Most patients (69.2%) experienced pain due to infections or osteoarthritis, with various fracture types being treated through different surgical approaches, primarily the modified Stoppa.
- * Despite a mean follow-up of 11.3 months showing decreased pain levels (VAS score from 6 to 1), the procedure carried significant complication risks, with intraoperative (30.8%) and postoperative (38.5%) issues reported, highlighting the need for experienced surgical teams.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of the AO large femoral distractor in helping to manage acetabular fractures characterized by marginal impaction and incarcerated fragments.
- Eighteen patients undergoing surgery using the distractor were analyzed, focusing on their fracture types and the outcomes post-surgery as seen in CT scans.
- Results indicated that the distractor provided a reliable method for achieving anatomical fracture reduction in most cases and successfully cleared the hip joint of impacted fragments.
Article Synopsis
- The aging population (>65 years) is experiencing a rise in osteoporosis-related fragility fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum, raising significant health concerns due to their potential life-threatening nature.
- Geriatric acetabular fractures account for 1.5%-3% of skeletal injuries, mainly occurring from minor trauma, with a marked increase over the past 30 years and a one-year mortality rate between 14% to 25%.
- Management options vary based on injury type, severity, and patient health; both nonoperative and operative approaches can yield similar outcomes in function and quality of life, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment decisions.
Purpose: We aimed to report our early experience treating paediatric pelvic fractures (PPF) surgically, reporting on indications, outcomes, and complications.
Methods: Patients aged 0-15 with PPF treated surgically at a level I trauma centre were included prospectively between 2016 and 2018. Fractures were classified according to AO/OTA classification system.
Purpose: This study aimed to report the early experience (radiographic, functional, and complications outcomes) from an Egyptian (North African) level one trauma centre after utilizing the modified Stoppa and the pararectus approaches to manage anterior-associated types of acetabular fractures.
Patients And Methods: Between January 2014 and April 2018, 63 patients (40 males and 23 females) with a mean age of 33 ± 11.5 were included, 45 patients were treated through the modified Stoppa (group A), and 18 through the pararectus approach (group B).
Background: Femoral head fractures (FHFs) are considered relatively uncommon injuries; however, open reduction and internal fixation is preferred for most displaced fractures. Several surgical approaches had been utilized with controversial results; surgical hip dislocation (SHD) is among these approaches, with the reputation of being demanding and leading to higher complication rates.
Aim: To determine the efficacy and safety of SHD in managing FHFs by reviewing the results reported in the literature.
