Filter by:Acetabular fractures are the resultant from high-energy trauma or low-energy trauma in the elder patients. Usually, surgeons use LETOURNEL's classification or/and JUDET's one. Five elements are considered and associated to five type of fracture. Even more, for orthopaedic surgeons with less experience with these fractures, correct classification can be more difficult. So the the aim of this study is: 1. Evaluate the efficacy of four "special" 3D reconstruction: a 3D reconstruction of the pelvis with anterior view, posterior view, endopelvic view where the opposite hemipelvis removed and an exopelvic view where the femoral head is removed according to the initial teaching of E. Letournel. 2. Evaluate the addition of teaching of non-experimented surgeon on the accuracy of classifying acetabular fractures. 3. Evaluate the addition of a digital algorithm (mobile application) on the accuracy of classifying acetabular fractures.
Acetabular fracture are common in elder patients and high energy trauma in younger one. However, the fracture deplacement induces incongruity between cotyloid cavity and femoral head. Anatomic reduction and osteosynthesis of these fracture are technically difficult . 3D printing ease the process of operating planification or implant fabrication. The 3D impression allows to obtain a model on the scale of the pond of the patient allowing to pre mold plates on the anatomy of the patient before he is operated with the aim of decreasing the surgical time and improving the quality of the reduction.
Treatment of acetabular fractures needs a perfect diagnosis to anticipate surgical difficulties. E. Letournel described a rare atypical both-column fracture which " introduces enormous surgical difficulties ". Its particularity is a sagittal comminution interesting the acetabular roof. In this experience the particular fracture is probably under-diagnosed. The purpose of this study is to give the exact incidence and a precise description of these fractures to improve their surgical management.
Is the anatomical reduction of osteochondral impaction in the acetabular fractures will improve the functional outcome? Despite the increasing amount of literature related to the management of anteromedial dome impactions and marginal impactions, there are still remaining issues and controversies pertaining mainly to the exact anatomy and location of the lesion, the best method of reduction, the need and type of subchondral void filling, the best method of stabilization, the need of reduction in elderly population and its true value as an outcome prognostic factor.
In 1965, Emile Letournel and Robert Judet reported their experiences on acetabular fractures at the 5th day of the Raymond Poincaré Hospital in Garches. Classification Letournel is still relevant and in use today. Many studies have sought to determine if the treatment had to be surgical or orthopedic. Although the standard treatment of displaced fractures of the acetabulum is the reduction and osteosynthesis, some advocate the THA in elderly patients with comminuted fracture of the acetabulum, impaction of the femoral head or acetabular impaction affecting more than 40% of the articular surface and including bearing zone. All these treatments and those supported have been studied in the literature. However the study of the laying of total hip remote trauma after acetabular fracture osteosynthesis or treated conservatively, is not rich in literature. Only a few articles have been published in recent years. Indeed, a recent review of the literature are nearly 11 series focusing on the results remotely hip prostheses for treatment of acetabular fracture. These two prospective series with between 21 and 63 patients. All authors report rates well above those reported complications for primary arthroplasty, with a revision of rates ranging between 0 and 26.5%. Fractures of the acetabulum are covered in our service by one operator using the same release technique based on the stiffening. The objective of this study is to determine whether the systematic surgical treatment of these patients by an experienced operator reduces the high complication rate.
The absence of methodologically, prospectively and retrospectively collected information on the use of the Quadrilateral Surface Plate (QSP) in the given indication requires a multicenter approach. Using a registry to get more information about the effectiveness and possible benefits or complications during the surgery and during the post-operative treatment is adequate and necessary to get new insights to the use of the Quadrilateral Surface Plate.
