In the present study the quality of reduction and incidence of complications in hip external rotator sparing modified posterior approach was assessed in both simple and complex acetabular fractures. ⋯ The functional outcome was satisfactory in most of the cases and comparable with other larger series. Using the limited part of Henry's sciatic nerve exposure skin incision - working in the plane between gluteus maximus and the tensor fascia lata as in the classical Gibson approach and two portal external rotator hip sparing approach resulted in good fracture reduction without approach related complications.

Compared to adults, children and adolescents are at greater risk for traumatic brain injury (TBI), with increased severity and prolonged recovery when compared to adults. It is a challenge to provide care for those children who are at risk for complications of TBI under health care resource constraints. ⋯ Acute intracranial injuries among children incur a substantial health care burden. Therefore, health authorities need to optimally allocate medical resources in care.
