Yu YH, Liu CH, Hsu YH, et al. - Via performing a retrospective review of patients treated for simultaneous ipsilateral pelvic ring and acetabular fractures, researchers herein investigated the radiological outcomes of these patients and determined the factors that influence the quality of acetabular fracture reduction. They obtained data from 27 hips of 26 patients and identified AO B2.2 and anterior columnar fractures as the most common types of pelvic ring and acetabular fractures, respectively. Associated fractures detected via Letournel’s classification may contribute to inadequate reduction of acetabular fractures. The risk of inadequate reduction of the acetabulum on X-ray scans may be predicted using Matta’s criteria for pelvic ring fractures. Intraoperative assessment of these findings is possible by fluoroscopy prior to initiating osteosynthesis for acetabular fractures.
