Abstract

Introduction: The pelvic ring fractures and acetabular fractures are among the major orthopedic injuries associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Open surgical stabilization is the standard treatment for the majority of these complications. Percutaneous minimally invasive surgical stabilization of the fractures has become an accepted treatment method for the past several years. This study investigated the outcomes of percutaneous fixation of pelvic and acetabular fractures.

Aims and objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of Percutaneous Fixation of Pelvic and Acetabular Fractures by analyzing clinical and radiological outcomes using Merle’s hip score and Matta’s criteria respectively and also assess the pre and post operative complications of Percutaneous fixation.

Method: In this Ambispective observational study, we included 8 patients with pelvis and acetabular injuries who needed percutaneous fixation as per the Indications. The patients were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients were operated between 2022 and 2023 at Yashoda Superspeciality Hospital, Nehru Nagar, Ghaziabad.

Result: Follow up of total 8 patients was done. The patients were assessed clinically according to the Merle’s Hip Score and radiologically according to Matta’s criteria. Out of the 8 patients included in this study, 2 patients had excellent result, 5 patients had good result and 1 patient had fair result who developed paresthesia (treated with percutaneous screw removal), as per Merle’s Hip score. And 5 patients had excellent result, 2 patients had good result and 1 patient had fair result and anatomical reduction was achieved in 7 patients and imperfect reduction was achieved in 1 patient as per Matta’s criteria.

Conclusion: Closed reduction and percutaneous minimally invasive screw fixation for a pelvic or acetabular Fractures is a useful surgical treatment option with low complication rates.
