Modified Stoppa approach for operative treatment of acetabular fractures: 10-year experience and mid-term follow-up

This study confirms that the Stoppa approach is a safe and effective technique for acetabular fracture fixation. Moreover, at mid-term follow-up, this approach is associated with satisfactory results in terms of hip survivorship as well as functional and radiographic outcome. As such, our findings reinforce the notion that this less invasive technique presents a valuable alternative to the ilioinguinal approach for the surgical treatment of acetabular fractures.
