Research Article: Special contoured pelvic brim reconstruction titanium plate combined with trans-plate buttress screws (quadrilateral screws) for acetabular fractures with quadrilateral plate involvement through the anterior ilioinguinal approach

Date Published: 2024-09-12

Abstract:
Background: Managing complicated acetabular fractures involving the quadrilateral plate (QLP) can be challenging for surgeons, especially when complicated by comminution and osteoporosis. Traditional implants do not provide sufficient fixed strength or a proper match. The new-type pre-contoured infrapectineal buttress plates may have drawbacks, such as inaccurate fitting on the medial surface of QLP and an inability to apply reversed compression force to resist medial displacement of femoral head. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study is to introduce a novel technique that utilizes a special contoured pelvic brim reconstruction titanium plate combined with quadrilateral screws to reduce and stabilize acetabular fractures involving the QLP through the ilioinguinal approach. Additionally, the secondary purpose is to evaluate both clinical effectiveness and radiological outcomes of this technique for QLP fractures.
