Abstract:
The ilioinguinal approach described by Emile Letournel in 1961 allows an extensive exposure of the anterior elements of the pelvis and acetabular fractures involving the anterior wall and/or column, pubic symphysis, and sacroiliac joint. It also facilitates a rapid recovery of muscle function and leaves a cosmetic scar.
