As the anterior intrapelvic approach (AIP or modified Stoppa) has become more popular, its utility has evolved to address specific problems that are not well addressed by the ilioinguinal approach. These include anterior column (AC) fractures associated with medialization of the femoral head (protrusio) and impaction of the superomedial acetabular dome. If left unaddressed, these problems may lead to poor clinical outcomes. The AIP approach, in contrast to the ilioinguinal approach, takes a more direct path to the medial elements of the AC in the true pelvis. This exposure allows access to the impacted dome segment through the displaced AC fracture and wide visualization of the quadrilateral surface, which in turn allows direct reduction and optimal implant placement to neutralize the fracture's deforming forces. The purpose of this article is to discuss the reduction of dome impaction and the quadrilateral surface using the AIP approach.

Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), as a classical kind of microporous materials, have attracted substantial interests considering their well-defined framework structures, unique physicochemical properties and low cost. However, PBAs typically adopt cubic structure that features small pore size and low specific surface area, which greatly limits their practical applications in various fields ranging from gas adsorption/separation to energy conversion/storage and biomedical treatments. Here we report the facile and general synthesis of unconventional hexagonal open PBA structures.

The quadrilateral surface fractures of the acetabulum are becoming more frequent due to the aging population. The optimal fixation of the quadrilateral surface through an appropriate surgical approach and a reliable and effective technique presents a challenge for orthopedic trauma surgeons. In this study, we present the results of 12 patients treated in our department who underwent internal fixation of the quadrilateral surface with two reconstruction plates in a vertical orientation for adequate fracture buttressing.

Pathoanatomy of the anterior column-posterior hemitransverse acetabular fracture.

Purpose: To define the pathoanatomy of the anterior column-posterior hemitransverse (ACPHT) subtype of acetabulum fractures and assess the morphologic variation therein.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study including 50 patients age greater than 60 with an ACPHT acetabular fracture managed operatively over an 11-year period at an ACS Level 1 Trauma center. Cross-sectional CT images were reviewed for anterior column/wall comminution, anterior column fracture exit point, completeness of the anterior column and posterior column fractures, articular impaction and quadrilateral surface continuity with the posterior column.

The concepts of origami and kirigami have often been presented separately. Here, we put forth a synergistic approach-the folded kirigami-in which kirigami assemblies are complemented by means of folding, typical of origami patterns. Besides the emerging patterns themselves, the synergistic approach also leads to topological mechanical metamaterials.

Background: The Smith-Peterson approach and its modifications provide an extensive exposure and allow osteotomies through a single incision. However, the risk of complications increases when the quadrilateral surface, ischial and pubic osteotomy sites cannot be seen. This study aimed to evaluate the surgical characteristics, complications, and functional and radiological outcomes of patients with acetabular dysplasia who underwent Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) through modified Stoppa approach and plate-screw fixation.
