Conditions

  • Acetabular Fracture

Eligibility Criteria

ALL
Age
18 Years - N/A
Healthy Volunteers
Not accepted

Interventions

  • Pelvic reconstruction plate without interfragmentary screws — DEVICE
    The posterior wall fracture will be operatively stabilized with a pelvic reconstruction plate and interfragmentary screws placed through the plate.
  • Pelvic reconstruction plate with interfragmentary screws — DEVICE
    The posterior wall fracture will be operatively fixed with a buttress plate applied under compression without interfragmentary lag or position screws.

Study Details

The hypothesis of this study is that the Rim Plate method utilizing interfragmentary screws placed through the plate will result in superior fixation, a lower rate of loss of reduction of the fracture fragment, better anatomic healing of the articular (joint) surface, a decreased rate of early post-traumatic arthritic changes of the joint (cartilage) surface, and improved functional outcomes.
