Abstract
We evaluated the outcome in 21 patients
having acetabular fractures who had been treated with
a 2 mm-braided cable, alone (n = 6), or together with
plate and screws. Reduction with a fracture gap of less
than 2 mm was achieved in 20 cases. The operation
lasted an average of 3 (1.5–4.8) hours. The average
blood loss was 1.4 (1.3–2.8) L. No intraoperative complication
occurred in relation to surgery. Postoperative
complications included 2 cases each of posttraumatic
arthritis and avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
After a mean follow-up of 4 (2–8) years, the clinical
outcome was excellent in 13, good in 3, fair in 3 and poor
in 2, and the radiographic outcome was excellent in 10,
good in 6, fair in 1 and poor in 4.
We believe that cable Ž xation is a useful technique
since the indirect reduction requires a limited exposure,
avoids penetration of the screw into the joint, and
improves Ž xation in patients with osteoporosis.
