Phase:

PHASE4

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether this new anatomical locking plate is more effective and easy to operate than other plate in the treatment of acetabular posterior wall fracture.

Acetabular fractures were very common in high-energy injury, because of the anatomic of acetabular was in deep location and the complex form cause the diagnosis and treatment was difficult. For most o...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Adult men or women aged 18 years and older (with no upper age limit).
  • Fracture of the acetabular posterior wall fracture confirmed with either anteroposterior and lateral hip radiographs, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Operative treatment of fractures within 14 days of presenting to the emergency room.
  • Patient was ambulatory prior to fracture, though they may have used an aid such as a cane or a walker.
  • Anticipated medical optimalization for operation.
  • Provision of informed consent by patient or legal guardian.
  • No other major trauma.

Exclusion

  • Refuse to participate.
  • Patients not suitable for internal fixation (i.e., severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or pathologic fracture).
  • Associated major injuries of the lower extremity (i.e., ipsilateral or contralateral fractures of the foot, ankle, tibia, fibula, knee, or femur; dislocations of the ankle, knee, or hip; or femoral head defects or fracture).
  • Retained hardware around the affected acetabular.
  • Infection around the acetabular (i.e., soft tissue or bone).
  • Patients with disorders of bone metabolism except osteoporosis (i.e., Paget's disease, renal osteodystrophy, osteomalacia).
  • Moderate or severe cognitively impaired patients (i.e., Six Item Screener with 3 or more errors).
  • Patients with Parkinson's disease (or dementia) severe enough to increase the likelihood of falling or severe enough to compromise rehabilitation.
  • Likely problems, in the judgment of the investigators, with maintaining follow-up. We will, for example, exclude patients with no fixed address, those who report a plan to move out of town in the next year, or intellectually challenged patients without adequate family support.
