ABSTRACT Background: As an alternative to the modified Stoppa approach, the Pararectus
ip t
approach is used clinically for treatment of acetabular fractures involving the anterior column. The current study assessed the surgical exposure and the options for
cr
instrumentation using both of these approaches. Methods: Surgical dissections were conducted on five human cadavers (all male, mean age 88 years (82 to 97)) using
us
the modified Stoppa and the Pararectus approach, with the same skin incision length
an
(10cm). Distal boundaries of the exposed bony surfaces were marked using a chisel. After removal of all soft-tissues, distances from the boundaries in the false and true
M
pelvis were measured with reference to the pelvic brim. The exposed bone was coloured and calibrated digital images of each inner hemipelvis were taken. The
d
amount of exposed surface using both approaches was assessed and represented
te
as a percentage of the total bony surface of each hemipelvis. For instrumentation, a suprapectineal quadrilateral buttress plate was used. Screw lengths were
Ac ce p
documented, and three-dimensional CT reconstructions were performed to assess screw trajectories qualitatively. Wilcoxon’s signed rank test for paired groups was used (level of significance: p
