Objectives: The aim of this study was to biomechanically compare three different fixation methods for the fixation of anterior column posterior hemitransverse type acetabular fracture (ACPHT).
Methods: ACPHT fracture models were created on twenty-four foam cortical shell artificial hemipelvis models. Three fixation methods were assessed - Group 1: posterior column lag screws over a suprapectineal plate; Group 2: Posterior column lag screws over a suprapectineal plate and an infrapectineal plate; Group 3: A suprapectineal plate and a vertical infrapectineal plate. Stiffness and displacement amounts of fixation methods under dynamic and static axial loading conditions were measured.
Results: In the dynamic and static tests, Group 3 showed the less stable fixation compared to Group 2. There was no statistically significant difference between the stiffness values of the fixation groups. In the static tests, there was no statistically significant difference between Group 1 and 2, although less displacements were obtained in Group 2.
Conclusions: A combination of posterior lag screws over a suprapectineal plate and an infrapectineal plate supporting the pelvic brim along both sides of the linea terminalis resulted in a better fixation construct than a suprapectineal plate accompanying with a vertical infrapectineal plate provide better stability with less fracture displacement.

Background Acetabular fractures with quadrilateral plate involvement have been shown to have a high rate of complications. Anatomic suprapectineal plating systems have been developed to manage these injuries with good short-term outcomes. However, long-term maintenance of anatomical reduction and functional outcomes has yet to be established.

Purpose: Management of quadrilateral plate fractures is technically demanding and requires specific fixation techniques. Infra-pectineal plating is the gold standard method of fixation. However, we recorded a high incidence of medial wall displacement and reoperations.

Article Synopsis
- * In a review of 22 cases, it was found that these plates affected the visibility of the weight-bearing surface in 75.3% of instances and disrupted three oblique X-ray views in 43.9% of cases.
- * The findings suggest that due to the impact on imaging quality, CT scans should be considered for postoperative assessments of complex acetabular fractures to ensure better surgical outcomes.
Aims & Objectives: To establish whether a suprapectineal pelvic reconstruction plate and posterior column screw (P&S) construct or a single 6.5-mm cannulated posterior column screw (PCS) construct demonstrates greater mechanical stability for fixation of acetabulum fractures involving the posterior column (PC). We hypothesized that the PCS construct would result in less fracture site motion.

Introduction: Quadrilateral plate (QLP) is a relatively thin bony structure located below the pelvic brim proximal to the hip joint, so management of its fractures is challenging.
Objectives: Evaluation of the functional and radiological outcomes of internal fixation of quadrilateral plate acetabular fractures; comparison of two methods of fracture fixation.
Patients And Methods: A prospective multicentric study including 30 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation of QLP fractures through modified Stoppa approach.
