Surgical treatment of transacetabular fractures
The article presents an analysis of the treatment results of patients with transverse acetabulum fractures of type B1.1 according to the AO classification using various surgical tactics/ the most optimistic results were obtained when using the hip joint osteosynthesis with an external fixation device (EFD) «pelvis-hip» in urgent cases. Besides the obvious antishock action, it allows removing the femoral head from the central displacement and in many cases achieving the reposition of the acetabulum, due to ligamentotaxis. After x-ray control in the case of a further incomplete reposition in the EFD, it significantly simplifies the open stage of surgical treatment after the stabilization of the vital functions of the body, which has a positive effect on the long-term results of treatment of this complex category of patients.
