Quadrilateral plate fractures of the acetabulum: An update

Clinical results of acetabular fracture management with the Pararectus approach

“…In fractures with medial displacement of the quadrilateral plate, a medial buttress plate was placed infrapectineally as recommended previously [24,25]. Intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis was administered (1.5 g cefuroxime, three times daily for a minimum of two postoperative days).…”

Central acetabular fracture dislocations: Are existing classifications comprehensive?

“…follow up period, clinical and radiographic scoring) or an improvement of surgical approaches or techniques in the reviewed time period might preclude a reliable comparison of treatment strategies and outcomes. In addition, a systematic review using the search terms ''Acetabular Fracture'' and ''Central Hip Dislocation'' recently presented different treatment modalities and outcomes [98].…”

Finite element analysis of the stability of transverse acetabular fractures in standing and sitting positions by different fixation options

“…A transverse fracture model was fixed in five different alternatives: an anterior column plate; a posterior column plate; an anterior column plate combined with a posterior column screw; a posterior column plate combined with an anterior column screw; and a posterior column plate and an anterior column plate (Figs. [1][2][3][4][5]. In these models, a load of 400 N was applied at standing and sitting positions and the displacements were analyzed by using three-dimensional finite element stress analysis method (Fig.…”

“…Surgical treatment of acetabular fractures continues to be one of the most challenging conditions to the orthopaedic trauma surgeons [1][2][3]. Anatomical reconstruction of the articular surface combined with rigid internal fixation followed by early postoperative mobilization of the affected joint remains the standard treatment of these injuries [4].…”
