ABSTRACT
Objective To study effect of high ilioinguinal approach in treatment of acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral plate. Methods 28 cases of acetabular fractures were randomly divided into two groups according to admission time. 16 patients in the observation group were given high ilioinguinal approach operation. 12 patients in the control group were treated with traditional ilioinguinal approach op-eration. Operation condition, fracture reduction, the hip function recovery and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. Results The amount of bleeding, the length of incision, operation time and operation conditions of the two groups had no significant differ-ence (P>0. 05). The satisfactory fracture reduction rate of observation group was higher than the control group (P0. 05). Conclusion High ilioinguinal approach can improve the fracture reduction effect, effectively improve the hip joint function in patients, and it has higher security which is a kind of ideal treatment approach for acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral plate.
