Retrospective study of 16 acetabular fractures with involvement of the quadrilateral plate treated with an anterior intrapelvic modified Rives-Stoppa approach

DiscussionRadiological results were within the previously reported. We had a high complication rate, particularly infection. This outcome may be influenced by the special complexity of our cases and the adaptation process to a new technique.ConclussionUsing the Stoppa approach we achieved lots of good or anatomical reductions. However, is an exigent and not without complications technique.
