Abstract: Introduction: The treatment of pelvic ring fractures continues to evolve in an attempt to improve outcomes for these patients. The treatment continues to be based on the fundamental understanding of pelvic anatomy. The incidence of pelvic ring fractures was reported to be 0.82 per 100000 people. An understanding of the anatomy of the pelvis is the key to the management and treatment of pelvic injuries. Any break in this ring can lead to stability issues, which may require operative intervention. Surgical intervention may be needed for fracture treatment and /or hemodynamic concerns. The pelvis is divided into anterior and posterior parts, and injuries to respective areas will dictate treatment. In the current study 10 patients with acetabular fractures were selected after proper pre-operative evaluation and underwent acetabulum plating using stoppa approach between May 2018 to Oct 2019. All patients were evaluated at 1 month, 3 month, 6 month post-operatively. The outcome was measured by Harris Hip Score.
Methods: This study was conducted in Department of Orthopaedics, S. S. G. Hospital and Medical College, Vadodara and included 10 cases of a study of results of Short Term Outcome of Anterior Column Acetabulum Plating Using Stoppa Approach from May 2017 to October 2019. The outcome was measured by Harris Hip Score.
Results: Maximum number of our patients were in 21-60 age group. The youngest patient was 21 years of age and the eldest was 80 years of age. The mean age was 47.1 years.
Conclusion and Interpretation: Patients were assessed using Modified Harris Hip score for the overall performance after Open Reduction and Internal Fixation for acetabular fractures. The average post-operative score for the patients was 85.7.
