Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The anatomical structure of the pelvis is complex, and it is difficult to be fixed. Misplacement of screws can lead to severe complications. Therefore, exploring an efficient, simple, and economic individualized design of surgical staple parameters has become a key issue in the fixation of the acetabular anterior column fracture. 

OBJECTIVE: To design parameters on the anterior column of acetabulum fracture reconstruction plate internal fixation for preoperative design using CT scan data, and to compare with conventional steel plate fixation. 
METHODS: Forty patients with acetabular anterior column fracture were randomly assigned to two groups: digital design group (n=20) and conventional surgery group (n=20). The digital design group received pelvic CT scanning for data acquisition. Materialise Mimics Innovation Suite 16.0 software was used for digital simulation of anterior acetabular fracture plate fixation. The conventional surgery group received conventional steel plate fixation. Operation time, blood loss and healing time were compared between the two groups. Anatomic reduction ratio and hip function score were compared between the two groups at postoperative 16 weeks.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Operation time, blood loss, healing time, anatomic reduction ratio and hip function score were better in the digital design group than in the conventional surgery group (P=0.00). (2) Results suggest that compared with the conventional surgery group, acetabular anterior column fractures of digital three-dimensional operation design has a good effect on reducing operation time and blood loss and elevating fixation effect, and can provide reference data for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acetabular anterior column fracture.
