There were 20 males and 7 females with an average age of 35 years (ranged,20 to 61). According to Tile classification,type A was in 5 cases,type B was in 18 cases and type C was in 4 cases. The intra-operative blood loss volume, fractured reduction and screw location were observed.ResultsPostoperative X-ray and CT scan showed good reduction. According to the standard of Matta, 10 cases got excellent results, 15 good and 2 poor. All fractures healed and no complications such as neurovascular injuries and femoral head necrosis were found.ConclusionPercutanious retrograde acetabular anterior horn screw technique have advantages of little trauma, less blood loss volume, reliable fixation, which can be effectively used in clinic.
