Objectives: To report the frequency of patients with pre- and post-reduction computed tomography (CT) scans associated with acetabular fracture-dislocations and the change of associated intra-articular fragments occurring with joint reduction.
Methods: Design: Retrospective case series.
Setting: Regional Level 1 trauma center.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the nonunion rates and risk factors in patients with simultaneous femoral neck and shaft fractures, using a retrospective review of data from two trauma centers between 2013 and 2022.
- Out of 227 initially identified patients, 154 met the criteria for follow-up analysis; findings revealed that 22% developed femoral shaft nonunion, with significant associations found with factors like perioperative blood transfusions and the severity of the fractures.
- The research concluded that treating these complex injuries remains challenging and highlighted the need for more focus on both the neck and shaft components during diagnosis and management.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical stability of a modified triangular osteosynthesis construct with S1 pedicle screws compared with other described lumbopelvic fixation constructs in a U-type sacral fracture model.
Methods: U-type sacral fractures were created in validated fourth-generation spinopelvic models. Four different constructs were cyclically loaded with displacement measured in all planes: (1) bilateral L5 pedicle screws with rods attached to iliac bolts, (2) bilateral L5 and S1 pedicle screws with rods attached to iliac bolts, (3) bilateral L5 pedicle screws with rods attached to iliac bolts with a transsacral-transiliac screw, and (4) bilateral L5 and S1 pedicle screws with rods attached to iliac bolts with a transsacral-transiliac screw.
Objective: To examine the results of a treatment algorithm incorporating an examination under anesthesia (EUA) performed intraoperatively after fixation of the femoral head through a Smith-Petersen approach to determine the need for posterior wall or capsule repair.
Design: Retrospective review.
Setting: Two Level 1 trauma centers.
