Abstract

Abstract : Summary: The anterior intrapelvic approach with a lateral window is gaining popularity for the surgical treatment of anterior fracture patterns of the acetabulum. Certain fracture patterns and characteristics present challenges when using anterior approaches. This article aims to describe some of the fracture patterns that may be particularly difficult to address using the anterior intrapelvic approach with or without the lateral window.
