Abstract

Background: Fractures involving both columns of the acetabulum are complex, requiring precise anatomical restoration for optimal outcomes. Traditional approaches often limit exposure and increase morbidity. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the anterior intrapelvic (AIP) approach with anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) osteotomy for managing both-column acetabular fractures. Methods: In this 12-month prospective observational study at a tertiary trauma center, 15 patients (aged 18-65) with radiographically confirmed both-column acetabular fractures underwent surgery using the AIP approach with ASIS osteotomy. Exclusion criteria included prior hip surgeries, neurovascular injuries, pathological or open fractures, and severe polytrauma. Clinical and radiological outcomes were assessed using the Harris Hip Score (HHS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Matta’s criteria. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Among the 15 patients (meanage: 35.6 years), 73.3% sustained injuries from motor vehicle accidents. Surgery was performed within an average of 5 days post-injury, achieving anatomical reduction in 80% of cases, with a mean operative time of 165 minutes and blood loss averaging 550 mL. Six-month follow-up showed significant improvement in HHS from 48.2 preoperatively to 88.4 (p < 0.001), and VAS decreased from 7.8 to 2.4 (p < 0.001). Two patients developed Brooker Grade I heterotopic ossification, with no cases of DVT, infections, or neurovascular injuries. Most patients (86.7%) returned to pre-injury activity levels. Conclusions: The AIP approach with ASIS osteotomy is effective and safe for managing complex acetabular fractures, offering excellent exposure, precise reduction, and significant functional improvement with low complication rates.
