Abstract:

To explore the clinical effect of lateral rectus approach in the treatment of pelvic acetabular fractures, 30 patients with pelvic acetabular fracture were selected for surgical treatment, who were randomly divided into two groups, the observation group treated by the lateral rectus abdominis, the control group treated by the traditional iliac-groin approach. Exposed time, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, good rate of fracture reduction, and postoperative hip function were compared. Results showed that the observation group was superior to the control group in exposed time, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, fracture reduction and hip function. It can be concluded that treatment of pelvic acetabular fractures by lateral rectus abdominis has the advantages of short operation time, large exposure range, less bleeding during operation, good reduction and satisfactory hip function after operation, which makes it worthy of clinical popularization.
