The management of comminuted quadrilateral fractures remains challenging, and treatment options are constantly evolving. The purpose of the present study was to examine the outcomes of 2 different fixation techniques in the management of comminuted quadrilateral fractures. Twenty-two patients with comminuted quadrilateral acetabular fractures were surgically treated with interfragmentary lag screw (group 1) and square bracket-shaped tubular (SBST) plate technique (group 2), in addition to suprapectineal and infrapectineal pelvic reconstruction plate fixation between January 2016 and July 2019 at our clinic.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the critical shoulder angle (CSA) and the occurrence of SLAP lesions, which cause significant shoulder pain, along with glenoid depth measurements in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy.
- A total of 191 patients were analyzed, with 37 presenting SLAP lesions and 154 with intact superior labrum, revealing a significant difference in CSA between the two groups, indicating that lower CSA may be linked to the presence of SLAP lesions.
- The results suggest that while low CSA is associated with SLAP lesions and glenohumeral osteoarthritis, glenoid depth does not show a significant correlation with SLAP lesions, prompting the need for further research on CSA's role in shoulder pathologies.
Introduction The objective of this study was to describe the modified Stoppa approach for anterior wall fracture fixation and to present our radiological and functional results of this approach. Materials and methods Between April 2013 and December 2019, 256 acetabular fractures operated with the modified Stoppa approach in our clinic were retrospectively reviewed, and 11 patients who were operated for anterior acetabular wall fractures with at least two years of follow-up were included in the study. Results The median amount of bleeding during surgery was found to be 450 ml (200-800), and the median operation time was 120 minutes (90-180).

Materials And Methods: One forty-six patients with a complaint of lower back pain (LBP) between January 2019 and December 2021 were included in the study. CT scans of all patients were analyzed retrospectively for abdominal visceral, subcutaneous, and total fat volume, and also paraspinal muscle volume measurements and analysis of lumbar vertebrae degeneration (LVD) using designated software.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the two-year clinical results of bilateral acetabular fractures operated via a single incision with the modified Stoppa approach.
Patients And Methods: Between January 2013 and January 2020, a total of 22 acetabular fractures of 11 patients (7 males, 4 females; mean age: was 42.9±13.
