| Popis: | Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a common surgical treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip. To obtain the optimal method of fixation during PAO, different screw fixation techniques have been proposed for stabilizing the acetabular fragment. This study assesses the biomechanical performance of two popular 3-screw fixation techniques: iliac (IS) and transverse (IT) configurations, through finite element simulations. Additionally, different 2-screw combinations are simulated to investigate the biomechanical significance of each screw of the fixation configurations. The study findings show that yield load of the pelvic bone subject to gait loading for IT configuration is on average 7% higher compared to that of the IS. Although the yield load of the IT is predicted to be slightly higher, no significant difference in bone stiffness and displacement of the acetabular fragment are found between two configurations. Simulation results, therefore, do not demonstrate a significant biomechanical advantage of the IT configuration over the IS. Furthermore, the biomechanical comparison between the 2-screw combinations of IS and IT fixations demonstrates that the most anterior screw in IS, located at the iliac crest, and the most medial screw in the IT are the most critical elements in providing sufficient stability and support for acetabular fragment. |
