Abstract:
Objective To investigate the surgical method and clinical curative results of acetabulum top compression fractures with sea gull sign. Methods Data of 14 patients who had acetabulum top compression fractures with sea gull sign were retrospectively analyzed and were accepted surgical therapy and followed up. There were 5 females and 9 males, aged from 28 to 71 years (average, 49.9 years). The pre-operative time was from 4 to 14 days (average, 9 days). Letournel-Judet fracture classifica-tion:eight cases for the anterior column+posterior semi-transverse, six cases for a simple anterior column. Three patients with lum-bar compression fracture, two patients with tibial plateau fracture, one patient with multiple rib fractures. All patients were accept-ed open reduction and bone graft and internal fixation through ilioinguinal approach or ilioinguinal approach+Kocher-Langenbeck approach. The quality of fracture reduction was assessed according to the Matta reduction criterion after operation. The hip func-tion was evaluated according to Matta. Results 14 patients were followed up from 6 to 60 months (average, 36 months). All pa-tients reached bone healing;healing time was from 3 months to 4 months (average, 3.4 months). According to the Matta reset stan-dard after operation, there were 6 excellent cases, 5 good cases, 2 fair cases, 1 poor case, the excellent and good rate was 78.5%(11/14). The Matta was from 10 to 18 scores (average, 16.4 scores), 5 excellent cases, 5 good cases, 3 fair cases, 1 poor case, the ex-cellent and good rate was 71.4%(10/14). Traumatic arthritis occurred in 3 patients. Pain was serious in two patients and disap-peared after total hip joint replacement. Pain was mild for one patient and disappeared after accepted non steroidal painkiller. One patient had heterotopic ossification after operation, which was not treatmented because of no obvious symptom. Conclusion The appropriate operation time of acetabular roof compression fracture with sea gull sign was from 5 to 10 days after fracture, which was no more than two weeks had best. Through ilioinguinal approach or ilioinguinal approach+Kocher-Langenbeck approach, the articular surface could be reduced excellent and got sufficient bone graft. The clinical efficacy was satisfactory after operation.
