<strong>Acetabular</strong> <strong>Fracture</strong> Types & Fixation<br />
Transverse<br />
Approach:<br />
The Kocher-Langenbeck approach can<br />
be used to access Transverse <strong>Fracture</strong>s.<br />
Fixation:<br />
• The posterior column is stabilized<br />
with an independent 3.5 or 4.5mm<br />
lag screw and an MPS Flex six-hole<br />
Plate (neutralization plate).<br />
• The anterior column is stabilized<br />
with an independent 4.5mm lag<br />
screw.<br />
Reduction/Fixation through the Kocher-Langenbeck Surgical Approach.<br />
T-Shaped<br />
Approach:<br />
A Kocher-Langenbeck or alternatively<br />
an Extended Iliofemoral approach<br />
are options to perform an ORIF of<br />
T-Shaped <strong>Fracture</strong>s.<br />
Fixation:<br />
• The posterior column is stabilized<br />
with an independent 3.5 or 4.5mm<br />
lag screw and an MPS Curved or<br />
MPS Flex Plate (neutralization plate).<br />
• The anterior column is then fixed<br />
with an independent 4.5mm lag<br />
screw.<br />
