Abstract
PURPOSE: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of single pararectus approach in patients confirmed with acetabular fracture involving anterior and posterior columns. METHODS: A total of 58 patients confirmed with acetabular fracture involving anterior and posterior columns and treated at our hospital between January 2015 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. A single pararectus approach was applied for all patients. Routine X-rays were performed at follow-up of one, three, six, 12, and 18 months, and three-dimensional CT scans were added at six and 18 months. Fracture reduction quality was assessed using the Matta score system, and functional assessment used the Modified Merle D'Aubigné and Postel score system. Post-operative complications, including fat liquefaction and deep vein thrombosis, were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: The median operation time was 186 min while the intra-operative blood loss was 421 mL. The rate of good-to-excellent reduction was 94.8%, and the rate of good-to-excellent hip function score reached 93.1%. Seven patients presented with post-operative complications, including three intra-operative small vascular injuries, two peritoneal small perforations, one fat liquefaction, and one deep vein thrombosis. CONCLUSION: Using a single pararectus approach is convenient and effective for treating acetabular fracture involving anterior and posterior columns, especially those involving the quadrilateral area.
