EVALUATION OF OUTCOMES AFTER 5 YEARS SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ACETABULAR FRACTURES IN VIET DUC HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Research objective: Evaluate the results after 5 years of bone fusion surgery to treat acetabular fractures at Viet Duc Friendship Hospital. Research methods: Retrospective descriptive study of 36 patients undergoing acetabular fusion surgery from January 2015 to December 2017. Results: 36 patients were studied with an average age of 38.36±12.5 (20-70 years old), the most common age group is the group under 40 years old, accounting for 61.11%, male/female ratio. = 3.5/1. Traffic accidents are the main cause of injury, accounting for 52.1%. The average time from accident to surgery is 8.08 days, with the majority of patients having surgery in the first week, accounting for 50%. The group of simple reduced fractures is predominant with 77.78% with fractures of the posterior wall of the acetabulum accounting for the highest proportion. Hip joint function after surgery achieved very good and high results at 91.66%. Postoperative complications included sciatic nerve paralysis in 3 patients and ectopic ossification in 2 patients. Conclusion: Acetabular fusion surgery is a treatment method that achieves good results for the majority of patients with increasingly improved complication rates.
