Modified Ollier transtrochanteric approach for the treatment of acetabular fractures.

The purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the rates of wound and neurologic complications and clinically significant heterotopic ossification, Brooker stage 3 and 4, with the modified Ollier transtrochanteric approach for the treatment of acetabular fractures. The study group comprised 94 consecutive patients (95 acetabuli) who had unstable acetabular fractures requiring surgical fixation. All patients were treated with open reduction internal fixation via the Ollier approach by a single surgeon (L.

Effect of fatigue on knee kinetics and kinematics in stop-jump tasks.

Background: Altered motor control strategies in landing and jumping maneuvers are a potential mechanism of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury. There are biomechanical differences between male and female athletes in the landing phase of stop-jump tasks. Fatigue is a risk factor in musculoskeletal injuries.
