old acetabular fracture; posterior wall osteotomy
Brief summary
Posterior wall osteotomy would be conducted to manage the old acetabular fracture. The outcome was reviewed to assess the feasibility of the surgical procedure.
Detailed description
More and more patients with old acetabular fracture were admitted in our institution during the past years. There is little literature especially depicts the therapeutic principle of the kind of damage. Posterior wall osteotomy would be conducted to eliminate the fragments or callus from the hip joint. Then, the deformed healing acetabulum could become mobile and the reduction may be achieved. However, the surgical procedure is technique demanding and some intraoperative risk may be accompanied. Surgical time, blood loss, complication and fracture healing would be reviewed to assess the feasibility of the surgical procedure. The function outcome is evaluated with HHS score at the follow up.
Interventions
posterior wall osteotomy is conducted through Kocher-Langenbeck approach.
