Summary

Marginal impaction of acetabular fractures, often associated with posterior dislocations, can be diagnosed with CT scans. Surgical treatment involves elevating impacted bone and grafting, with ORIF and reconstruction plates yielding varied outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Trauma radiology

Background:

  • Acetabular fractures are complex injuries.
  • Marginal impaction represents a specific challenge in acetabular fracture management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the diagnostic methods and treatment strategies for marginal impaction of acetabular fractures.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical intervention for this specific fracture type.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 18 patients with marginal impaction of acetabular fractures.
  • Diagnosis confirmed via CT scans preoperatively or intraoperatively.
  • All patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with bone grafting for elevated impacted segments.

Main Results:

  • Mean follow-up of 36.7 months.
  • Functional outcomes assessed using the modified D'Aubingne and Postel score: 6 excellent, 7 good, 2 fair, and 3 poor.
  • Reconstruction plates were used for fixation in all cases.

Conclusions:

  • Posterior acetabular fractures and dislocations frequently present with marginal impaction.
  • CT scanning is crucial for diagnosing marginal impaction.
  • Marginal impaction should be considered a distinct entity requiring bone elevation and grafting during surgical repair.
