Abstrakt: The management of comminuted quadrilateral fractures remains challenging, and treatment options are constantly evolving. The purpose of the present study was to examine the outcomes of 2 different fixation techniques in the management of comminuted quadrilateral fractures. Twenty-two patients with comminuted quadrilateral acetabular fractures were surgically treated with interfragmentary lag screw (group 1) and square bracket-shaped tubular (SBST) plate technique (group 2), in addition to suprapectineal and infrapectineal pelvic reconstruction plate fixation between January 2016 and July 2019 at our clinic. 2 years follow-up control data of each group were compared in terms of radiological and functional results, and complications. According to the functional score comparison, the mean Merle d'Aubigne Postel scoring system (MAP) score was 15.2/15.6 (P = .632), and the mean Harris hip scoring (HHS) system score was 74.65/77.3 (P = .664) in groups 1 and 2, respectively. Radiological comparison was performed according to matta radiological criteria (MRC), and 2 excellent, 6 good, 2 poor, 4 excellent, 4 good, and 4 poor radiological results were observed in groups 1 and 2, respectively. intraarticular screw penetration was detected in 3 patients in group 1, while there was no articular implant penetration in group 2 (P = .001). We believe that satisfactory results can be obtained with the SBST plate technique, offering functional and clinical outcomes that are similar to those of the interfragmentary screw technique. The SBST plate technique is superior in terms of avoiding intraarticular screw penetration and related revision surgery.
