Clinical application of the percutaneous retrograde acetabular anterior horn screw fixation / 中国骨伤

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical usage of percutanious retrograde acetabular anterior horn screw fixation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From June 2006 to November 2011,27 patients with anterior horn accetabular fractures were treated with percutaneous retrograde screw. There were 20 males and 7 females with an average age of 35 years (ranged,20 to 61). According to Tile classification,type A was in 5 cases,type B was in 18 cases and type C was in 4 cases. The intra-operative blood loss volume, fractured reduction and screw location were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Postoperative X-ray and CT scan showed good reduction. According to the standard of Matta, 10 cases got excellent results, 15 good and 2 poor. All fractures healed and no complications such as neurovascular injuries and femoral head necrosis were found.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Percutanious retrograde acetabular anterior horn screw technique have advantages of little trauma, less blood loss volume, reliable fixation, which can be effectively used in clinic.</p>
