A Survey on Outcomes of Patients Operated with Kocher Approach in the Posterior Acetabulum Wall Fractures

Abstract

Background: There are many challenges in using the type of treatment method for acetabular fractures, and the incorrect treatment of these fractures can have many complications for the patient. Therefore, we decided to do some research to examine the treatment results of patients who underwent surgery with a posterior approach.
Methods: The files of patients admitted to the orthopedic department of the Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan City, Iran, were examined. After contacting the patients, performance outcomes were examined six months after the treatment of surgery results and final follow-up using the Harris Hip Score (HHS).
Results: In this study, the total number of patients was 25, of which 80% were men and 20% were women. Treatment results were evaluated as good or excellent in 15 (60%) patients and had no statistically significant relationship with age and gender. 48% had no pain and lameness, and the others showed different degrees of pain. 96% of the people were able to climb the stairs, but 4% were unable to climb the stairs. 76% of the people could use public transportation, and the rest of the people could not. 40% of the people did not need to use crutches, and the rest depended on crutches to varying degrees.
Conclusion: According to the therapeutic results obtained from the surgery, it can be concluded that this surgery has acceptable results.
