1998 The Ilioinguinal Approach in the Management of Acetabular Fractures

Location: http://www.maitrise-orthop.com/viewPage_us.do?id=414

The subject of acetabular fracture surgery has been dealt with at length in the literature. Almost forty years after the first publications by Robert Judet and Emile Letournel, much has been written on either side of the Atlantic; however, there is nothing new in the New World or the Old. Large studies...

2001 Technique of percutaneous transsacral screw stabilization for sacroiliac joint injury and sacral fractures

Location: http://www.maitrise-orthop.com/corpusmaitri/orthopaedic/108_laude/laudeus.shtml

The low rate of postoperative complications, the good functional results aside from a few understandable failures, justify continued use of this method. Percutaneous screw fixation is not a goal in itself. It is, in our opinion, more important to stress the quality of the reduction obtained, the percutaneous screw fixation only...

2005 Ilioinguinal approach - modified

Location: http://www.rcsed.ac.uk/fellows/lvanrensburg/classification/approaches/ilioinguinal_approach.htm

Indication Difficult acetabular fractures with anterior displacement in which access to the entire anterior column is required. This approach allows access to the anterior column as far as the symphysis and includes the quadrilateral plate. Most both-column fractures can also be managed through this approach, but only if the posterior fragment is...

2005 Pelvic Fractures in Emergency Medicine eMedicine Emergency

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/825869-overview

Author: Charles Sheppard, MD, FACEP. 2005
Pelvic fracture is a disruption of the bony structure of the pelvis. In elderly persons, the most common cause is a fall from a standing position. However, the most significant fractures involve significant forces such as a motor vehicle crash or fall from a significant...

2006 Pelvic Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1247913-overview

Russell & Jarrett 2006 Updated 2009
Operative management of unstable pelvic injuries increased especially recently due to several factors. Improved and coordinated treatment of polytraumatized patients, improved anesthetic techniques including blood salvage systems, advances in intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging techniques, standardized pelvic implant system, and better understanding of injury and deformity...

2007 Pelvic Ring Fractures eMedicine Radiology

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/394515-overview

Author: D Dean Thornton, MD 2007
Pelvic ring fractures occur as the result of high-energy blunt trauma, as in motor vehicle collisions and falls. These injuries are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, both from the complications of pelvic ring fractures and from commonly associated injuries. Recognition of the pattern of...

2008 Acetabulum Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1246057-overview

Thacker, Tejwani & Thakkar 2008 Updated 2009
Fractures of the acetabulum occur primarily in young adults as a result of high-velocity trauma. These fractures are often associated with other life-threatening injuries. Displacement of the fracture fragments leads to articular incongruity of the hip joint that results in abnormal pressure distribution on the...

An algorithm for the management of exsanguinating pelvic trauma Karim, London, UK, May 20, 2008
Introduction Trauma patients who present with unstable pelvic fractures have sustained a high energy injury that is commonly associated with disruption of arteries and veins resulting in major haemorrhage. Patients with pelvic fractures who present in shock have...

2008 Unstable Pelvic Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1247426-overview

Graf & Karunakar 2008
This article focuses on unstable pelvic fractures, which are usually caused by high-energy injuries. The most common high-energy mechanism of injury is a motor vehicle accident. Patients who sustain these injuries not only have the osseous injury but also often have concomitant life-threatening injuries. Younger people are more...

2009 A biomechanical study of conventional acetabular internal fracture fixation versus locking plate fixation

Location: http://www.cma.ca/multimedia/staticContent/HTML/N0/l2/cjs/vol-52/issue-3/pdf/pg221.pdf

Conclusion: The locking plate construct is as strong as the conventional plate plus interfragmentary lag screw construct for fixing transverse acetabular fractures. Lock- ing plates may improve management of acetabular fractures by eliminating the need for placement of an interfragmentary lag screw. Furthermore, they may be helpful in revision hip...

2009 Insufficiency Fractures of the Pelvis eMedicine Radiology

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/394406-overview

Insufficiency fracture is a subgroup of stress fracture. Unlike the other subtype (ie, fatigue fracture), insufficiency fracture is caused by normal or physiologic stress upon weakened bone. Loss of bone trabeculae decreases the bone's elastic resistance.
Awareness is increasing concerning the occurrence of these fractures among older persons. Sites frequently affected...

2009 Isolated quadrilateral plate fracture

Location: http://www.cma.ca/multimedia/staticContent/HTML/N0/l2/cjs/vol-52/issue-5/pdf/pgE217.pdf

The most widely used classification of acetabular fractures is that of Letournel and colleagues. This anatomic classification divides all acetabular fractures into elementary and associated types based on the anterior and posterior columns and walls. We report the case of a patient with an isolated quadrilateral plate fracture of the pelvis...
