Abstract:[Objective] To introduce the surgical techniques and preliminary clinical results of fixation of complex acetabular fractures through the pararectus approach. [Methods] From July 2019 to June 2022, a total of 14 patients received infra-acetabular screw fixation of complex acetabular fractures through the pararectus approach. Through the pararectus approach, the anterior column fracture was reduced and fixed by a reconstructive plate along the upper boundary of the pelvis, with the quadrilateral body fixed by iliac plate or comb screws. In addition, an infra-acetabular screw 3.5mm or 4.5mm in diameter was inserted at the medial end of the iliopectineal eminence towards the ischiatic tubercle through the third window of the para-rectus approach. [Results] All the patients had operation performed successfully without vascular or nerve injury, whereas with an average operation time of (153.5±45.6) min, and an average intraoperative blood loss of (465.7±249.5) ml. Based on Matta criteria, the quality of fracture reduction was excellent in 12 cases and good in 2 cases. The Merled'Aubigne-Postel score ranged from 14 to 18 at the last follow-up lasted for (14.5±4.7) months in a mean, accordingly, 9 cases were excellent, 4 cases were good and 1 case was fair. [Conclusion] Fixation of complex acetabular fractures by a single para-rectus approach, in which the anterior and posterior columns are fixed with infra-acetabular screw to enhance the overall stability of the internal fixation, does achieve satisfactory clinical results.
