ABSTRACT
Objective To introduce the operation method and curative effect of posterior dislocation and acetabular posterior column ( wall) fracture with greater trochanteric osteotomy via Kocher-Langenbeck approach. Methods 14 cases of posterior dislocation and ace-tabular posterior column( wall) fracture who were treated by greater trochanteric osteotomy via Kocher-Langenbeck approach were collected, and the surgical methods, intraoperative situation and postoperative recovery were analyzed. Results The mean operating time is 105 min and the mean bleeding volum is 600 mL. After operation, there were 5 cases of anatomical reduction;8 cases of good reduction;1 cases of unsatisfactory reduction. Among the patients, 7 cases were of excellent clinical effect;4 cases were of good clinical effect, 3 cases were of medium clinical effect. Heterotopic ossification occurred in 3 cases and traumatic arthritis occurred in 4 case. Both acetabular posterior col-umn ( wall) and trochanter osteotomy ends were healed, and there was no iatrogenic sciatic nerve and femoral head necrosis injury. Conclu-sion In treatment of posterior dislocation and acetabular posterior column ( wall) fracture, greater trochanteric osteotomy via Kocher-Lange-nbeck approach can provide excellent exposure, and it is conducive to the reduction and fixation of fracture and dislocation.
