Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of the modified Bikini approach in the fixation of acetabular fracture with an integrated wing-shaped anatomical locking plate.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 54 patients with acetabular fracture who had been treated at Department of Trauma Orthopedics, Orthopedic Medical Center, The Third Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University from May 2017 to June 2021. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on different surgical approaches: an observation group [26 cases, 6 males, 20 females; aged 40.0 (29.8, 46.8) years] treated with fixation with an integrated wing-shaped anatomical locking plate through the modified Bikini approach, and a control group [28 cases, 10 males, 18 females; aged 34.5 (24.0, 43.5) years] treated with fixation with an integrated wing-shaped anatomical locking plate through the lateral-rectus approach. The incision length, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, length of hospital stay, quality of postoperative fracture reduction, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, hip function, Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) were compared between the 2 groups.Results:The differences in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups were not statistically significant, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups either in terms of incision length, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, or hospital stay ( P>0.05). The 2 groups were not significantly different in the excellent/good rate of fracture reduction [100.0% (26/26) versus 92.9% (26/28)], VAS at 1 month postoperation [2.0(1.0, 3.0) versus 2.0(1.0, 3.0)], or the modified Merle d'Aubigné and Postel hip score at 12 months postoperation [13.5(12.3, 14.8) versus. 14.0(13.0, 15.0)] ( P>0.05). However, the VSS [4.50(4.00, 6.00)] and POSAS (29.85±10.05) at 12 months postoperation in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [6.50(5.00, 8.25) and 37.11±11.75] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the fixation of acetabular fracture with an integrated wing-shaped anatomical locking plate, the modified Bikini approach can not only achieve as fine early clinical efficacy as the lateral-rectus approach, but also demonstrate the aesthetic advantages of smaller incision scar and more hidden incision.
