Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficacy of double fork plate in treating the posterior wall fracture of the acetabulum.Methods Reviewed 11 patients who had treated with open reduction and internal fixation with double fork plates for posterior wall fracture of the acetabulum from July 2008 to July 2012,including 8 male cases and 3 female cases with an average age of 35.3 years(from 22 to 53 years).The average time from getting injury to operation was 7.8 days(from 1 to 19 days).The operations were performed through the Kocher-langenbeck approach.Double fork plates(formed from a three-or four-tubular plate) with an overlapping reconstruction plate used for posterior wall fragments.The functional outcomes were evaluated by the modified Merled'Aubigne and Postel'clinical garding system.The radiographs were graded according to the Matte criteria.Rmults The patients were adopted telephone or outpatient follow-up for 25 months on average(from 12 to 33 months).By the Matte criteria,7 cases achieved excellent reduction,3 good reduction,1 case fair reduction and none poor reduction,with the good and excellent rate of 90.9％.By the modified Merled'Aubigne and Postel'critria,functional recovery of the affected hip at the last followe-up was rated as excellent in 6 cases,good in 3 cases,fair in 2 cases and none poor,with the good and excellent rate of 81.8％.Heterotopic ossification was happened to 1 patient.Neither infection nor ischemic necrosis of the femoral head was recorded.Coclusion Double fork plates with an overlapping reconstruction plate can provid stable fixation and allow for early functional exercise.So the use of Double fork plates have a certain clinical value.
