Transformation of transverse fractures of the acetabulum in T-shaped fractures and sequential approaches

Transverse acetabular fractures are difficult to reduce and generally associated with poorer clinical outcomes than other types of acetabular fractures. For these fractures affecting both columns, the surgical strategy is subject to controversy and there is currently no optimal method of management....

Summary:Transverse acetabular fractures are difficult to reduce and generally associated with poorer clinical outcomes than other types of acetabular fractures. For these fractures affecting both columns, the surgical strategy is subject to controversy and there is currently no optimal method of management. The transformation of these transverse fractures in to a T-shaped fracture makes it possible to make the anterior and posterior components of the fracture independent and to reduce them sequentially. This technique has made it possible to obtain a satisfactory reduction of the fracture in certain cases and gives hope for good long-term functional results. IV.
