Analysis of Predictors of Results after Surgical Treatment of Acetabular Fractures / 대한고관절학회지

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to analyze the factors affecting the outcomes after surgical treatment of acetabular fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2000 and December 2012, 106 patients with acetabular fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. We performed a retrospective cohort study to analyze the factors which may influence a patient's prognosis after surgical treatment of an acetabular fracture. The factors examined included age, femoral head injury, fracture type, dislocation, initial displacement, delay to injury-related surgery (in days), and quality of reduction. Additionally, we investigated clinical and radiological outcomes, as well as the development of osteoarthritis. RESULTS: Patients included 85 males (80.2%) and 21 females (18.8%) with a mean age of 50.4 (17-78) years. The mean follow-up period was 2.6 (1-10) years. In a univariable regression analysis, quality of reduction, age, and initial displacement were significantly associated with radiological and clinical outcomes. In a multivariable regression analysis, quality of reduction (P<0.001) and initial displacement (P=0.001) were found to be factors predictive of clinical and radiological outcomes. Additionally, the quality of reduction (P=0.005) was found to be predictive of osteoarthritis development. CONCLUSION: Study results indicated that the quality of reduction was the most important factor influencing the prognosis of patients with acetabular fractures.

Analysis of the influencing factors of operative effect in complex acetabular fracture / 中国医师进修杂志

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence factors of operative effect in complex acetabular fracture. MethodsSixty-seven patients with complex acetabular fractures were selected. All patients were used surgical treatment,the clinical curative effect by Merle d'Aubigne-Postel hip scoring function to evaluate,set the age,sex, operation time,operative approach,the quality of fracture reduction,complex dislocation of the hip fracture and type of complex acetabular fractures with comparative index,the results were statistically analyzed. ResultsPatients were followed up for 6-24 months,the mean time was 14.6 months. Univariate analysis showed that the fine efficacy of surgery taken in no more than 2 weeks [84.0％ (42/50)]was better than more than 2 weeks [64.7％ ( 11/17 )](P ＜ 0.05 ). The high-quality of reduction [86.4％ ( 19/22 )]was better than low-quality of reduction [44.4％ (4/9)] (P ＜ 0.01 ). The compare of age,sex,operative approach,complex dislocation of the hip fracture were no statistically different (P ＞0.05).Complex acetabular fractures of T-shaped fracture healing rate was 85.7％ (12/14),the excellent rate was significantly higher than posterior column with posterior wall fractures[77.8％ (7/9)],transverse with posterior wall fractures [75.0％ (15/20)], anterior column with half of transverse fractures [66.7％ (2/3)],double-column fractures[71.4％ (15/21)],the results were statistically different. Conclusion The necessary conditions for ensuring fracture prognosis is the quality of reduction,timing of surgery,and type of fracture.
