Abstract:

Objective    To evaluate the clinic effect of ilio-inguinal and Kocher-Langenbeek (K-L) approach for internal fixation and reduction in the treatment of complex acetabular fractures.    Methods    A retrospective study was done on 65 patients with complex acetabular fractures who received treatment ofinternal reduction and fixation from January 2006 to August 2012 through ilio-inguinal and K-L approach. surgical length, intra-operative blood loss, degree of postoperative reduction,results of Merle d’Aubigne-Pestel scores were recorded.    Results     All patients were followed up for 15~42 months. The surgical length was (186±21) minutes, the intra-operative blood loss was (820±21) ml.According to Mata-analysis standard,the rate of good and excellent postoperative fracture reduction was 93.8%.The modified Merle d’Aubigne-Pestel score system showed rate of excellence and good joint function was 90.8%.Conclusions    The clinical efficacy of combined ilio-inguinal and K-L approach for internal fixation and reduction in the treatment of complex acetabular fractures is good.
