<strong>Acetabular</strong> <strong>Fracture</strong> Types<br />
Posterior Column & Posterior Wall<br />
Matta<br />
Reduction/Fixation through the Kocher-Langenbeck surgical approach.<br />
• Initial fixation of the posterior<br />
column with an independent lag<br />
screw and/or five or six-hole plate.<br />
• If the posterior wall fragment is large<br />
enough, it should be fixed into its bed<br />
with one or two lag screws.<br />
• Definitive stabilization of the<br />
posterior wall and column is obtained<br />
by adding a seven or eight-hole MPS<br />
curved plate buttressing the posterior<br />
wall and anchored securely to the<br />
ilium and ischium using 3.5mm<br />
screws.<br />
Transverse & Posterior Wall<br />
Reduction/Fixation through the Kocher-Langenbeck surgical approach.<br />
• Two 3.5 or 4.5mm independent<br />
lag screws stabilize the transverse<br />
fracture component.<br />
• One or two independent 3.5mm lag<br />
screw maintained the reduction of the<br />
posterior wall fragment.<br />
• An MPS flex (annealed) eight-hole<br />
plate or alternatively a six or<br />
seven-hole curved plate is applied<br />
to buttress the posterior wall.<br />
