Less Invasive Anterior Iliac Approach and Compression Osteosynthesis for the Treatment of High Anterior Column Fractures of the Acetabulum.

Conclusions: Our less invasive surgical technique of the anterior iliac approach and compression osteosynthesis is a useful addition to the existing techniques in the treatment of high anterior column fractures of the acetabulum. Despite being a limited approach and fixation, this technique provides sufficient exposure for reducing and fixing the fracture and adequate stability to allow immediate mobilization of the patient after surgery.
