Summary: The article presents a surgical technique for transverse or transverse/posterior wall acetabular fractures repaired using clamp-assisted reduction, anterior column screw fixation, and subsequent posterior column plating. A case series of 55 patients treated with this technique was reviewed to evaluate the reduction quality using postoperative computed tomogram scans.

Summary: Through a systematic review analysis, evoked potential tests can quickly and accurately detect imminent neurological impairment during surgery for acetabular and pelvic ring injuries, leading to improved surgical outcomes in some cases, although irreversible damage may still be unavoidable.

Summary: The study evaluated the clinical and radiological outcomes of ORIF in elderly patients with quadrilateral plate fractures, and investigated the factors potentially affecting the results. The Walid's classification system was found to be associated with the quality of reduction and functional recovery, suggesting ORIF as a viable treatment option for elderly patients with quadrilateral plate fractures.

Summary: The incidence of acetabular fractures has increased in recent years. These fractures can be divided into high-energy fractures in adults and low-energy fractures in geriatric patients. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become a good alternative for the treatment of acute acetabular fractures. This study aimed to systematically review the outcomes of THA in these fractures.

Summary: Although various radiologic parameters of hip joint morphology are commonly used, their relation to acetabular fractures is limited. This study found that certain morphological features of the hip joint are associated with acetabular posterior wall fractures. Injury mechanism, acetabular index, and acetabular depth-to-width ratio were significant predictors of posterior wall fractures. Understanding the importance of these morphological factors can aid in the early identification and treatment of pathological conditions, protecting the hip joint and preventing future injuries.

Summary: Patients with cirrhosis have a higher risk of complications after operative treatment of acetabular fractures. This study found that cirrhosis is independently associated with increased risk of inpatient complications, serious adverse events, infection, and mortality following operative repair of acetabular fracture.

Summary: Periprosthetic acetabular fractures are rare but potentially serious complications of total hip arthroplasty. There is a lack of literature on these fractures compared to periprosthetic femoral fractures after total hip arthroplasty. This article provides an up-to-date review of the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnostic challenges, classifications, and management strategies for periprosthetic acetabular fractures after total hip arthroplasty.

Summary: This study determines the ideal view(s) and minimum number of intraoperative fluoroscopic views needed to rule out intra-articular screw violation during acetabular fracture fixation. The accuracy and sensitivity of the observers varied in different regions but overall showed good agreement. The study confirms that if there is no evidence of joint violation in a single fluoroscopic view, the probability of violation is unlikely.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review to evaluate the techniques and outcomes of arthroscopic fixation of femoral head and acetabulum fractures. No randomized controlled studies comparing different surgical techniques were found, but the reported cases demonstrated potential for this method of treatment.

Summary: Currently, optimal treatment algorithm for geriatric acetabular fractures is unclear, particularly in cases with significant femoral head protrusio. Treatment goals should focus on restoring hip stability, with open reduction and internal fixation being a potentially effective and efficient approach.

Summary: This study identified factors that negatively influence functional outcomes after operative management of acetabular fractures, including smoking, obesity, comorbid diabetes, post-traumatic arthrosis, and heterotopic ossification. Smoking had the strongest association with worse outcomes, followed by the severity of heterotopic ossification.

Summary: The study evaluated the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with post-traumatic osteoarthritis (OA) and avascular necrosis (AVN), who had previously undergone surgical treatment for acetabular fractures. THA significantly improved the life quality and functional status of patients with post-traumatic OA and AVN.

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed the records of patients undergoing percutaneous stabilization procedures from 2018 to 2022. The results showed that percutaneous stabilization improves patient function, ambulatory status, and has a limited complication profile.
