Fracture Characteristics Definition Anterior column fractures are partially articular fractures, characterized by a fracture line typically starting at the inferior pubic ramus extending cranially up to the iliac fossa, often…
Fracture Characteristics Definition Associated anterior column/wall plus posterior hemitransverse fractures are partially articular fractures with a transverse fracture component, characterized by an anterior segmental fracture (wall) or a separation of…
Fracture Characteristics Definition Pure transverse fractures are partially articular fractures with a transverse fracture component, characterized by a horizontal fracture line dividing the acetabulum into an upper (ilium) and a…
Fracture Characteristics Definition T-type fractures are partial articular fractures and are characterized by a simple transverse fracture line dividing the acetabulum into an upper (iliac) segment and a lower (ischiopubic)…
Fracture Characteristics Definition Associated transverse fractures plus posterior wall fractures are partial articular fractures and are characterized by a simple transverse fracture line dividing the acetabulum into an upper (iliac)…
Fracture Characteristics Definition Fractures of the anterior wall are partially articular fractures, characterized by an isolated fracture fragment around the iliopectineal eminence, which consists of a broad part of the…
Bones and Ligaments According to Rouvièr, the innominate bone, the hemipelvis (▶ Fig. 1.1) consists of two columns. Understanding this column principle is the basis for acetabular fracture classification according…
Fracture Characteristics Definition Posterior column fractures, a partially articular fracture, are characterized by a complete separation of the posterior column from the acetabulum (▶ Fig. 9.1, ▶ Fig. 9.2, ▶…
Fracture Characteristics Definition Associated fractures of the posterior column and posterior wall are partially articular fractures, characterized by a combination of a classical posterior column fracture and posterior wall fragment(s)….
The majority of acetabular fractures should be treated operatively as this leads to the best long-term results.1 In some fracture types, conservative treatment is suitable if certain parameters are considered….
