Objectives: To evaluate the results of a new plate system using anterior approaches in the management of acetabular fractures.
Design: Retrospective case-note review.
Setting: Pelvic and acetabular tertiary center.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to define and classify quadrilateral plate (QLP) fractures, as there is currently no existing system for these injuries.
- The research involved anatomical analysis using pelvic specimens and a review of CT images from 609 patients with acetabular fractures to identify radiological landmarks related to QLP fractures.
- The resulting classification system categorizes QLP fractures into four types based on the degree of separation and complexity, potentially aiding in future identification and treatment strategies.
Introduction: Quadrilateral plate fractures constitute one of the most challenging components of acetabular fractures. The objective of this study is to describe and evaluate the novel technique of buttress screw fixation of the quadrilateral plate component of the acetabular fractures.
Patients & Methods: Forty cases of acetabular fracture with associated quadrilateral plate component were included in the study.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two surgical techniques, crossed and lateral pin configurations, for treating supracondylar humeral fractures in children by junior trainees.
- Involving 60 children with an average age of 5.1 years, results showed that the crossed configuration was more stable, with 0% complications, while 20% of the lateral cases had stability issues.
- Findings indicated that the crossed pin method is significantly better for stability and safety, with statistical evidence supporting its efficacy for junior surgeons.
