<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 />
