ReviewA systematic review of combined pelvic and acetabular injuries.
Injuries of both pelvic ring and acetabulum as rare very few articles are available in literature. There are no set protocols in defining the injury let alone defining early and definitive management strategies. This article is an attempt to encompass all available data to give us guidelines in managing these injuries. ⋯ Combined Pelvic and acetabular injuries are complex injuries which need to be managed initially as we manage pelvic injury and later as we fix as an acetabular fracture meticulously.

ReviewAnatomical quadrilateral plate for acetabulum fractures involving quadrilateral surface: A review.
The management of acetabulum fractures in osteoporotic elderly, as well as comminuted fractures in younger patients is likely to be difficult. These fractures need specific fixation techniques especially when the quadrilateral plate is involved. Standard implants may not be able to adequately support the fixation, so newer pre-shaped fixation plates have been proposed with some of these already in use. The concept of anatomic plates has come up for many fracture locations for providing a better buttress effect to the comminuted fragments. There has been a need to look for an anatomic buttress plates being developed for acetabulum fractures involving the quadrilateral surface. ⋯ For stabilization of acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral surface area and pelvic brim, various new implants have been used. The Anatomic quadrilateral plate due to its anatomical shape, the various options in fracture fixation is best optimized for management of comminuted acetabulum fractures especially in poor quality bones. It has been successful in achieving good outcome in elderly group of patients having these complex injuries.

ReviewUse of INFIX for managing unstable anterior pelvic ring injuries: A systematic review.
Subcutaneous screw rod system which is popularly known as Pelvic internal fixator (INFIX) has emerged as an alternative to external fixators in management of unstable pelvic injuries. INFIX has shown various advantages over external fixation such as reduced infection rate and patient morbidity. However, it has its own set of complications such as lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury, heterotopic ossification, femoral nerve palsy etc. We intended to conduct a systematic review of the current literature to assess outcomes and complications with INFIX technique of fixation. ⋯ This analysis supports the use of INFIX in management of unstable pelvis fractures where anterior fixation is required.

Does use of a quadrilateral surface plate improve outcome in elderly acetabular fractures?
Acetabular fractures in the elderly frequently involve segmental quadrilateral plate injury, yet no consensus exists on how to best control the femoral head medial displacement. Quadrilateral surface plates (QSP) were developed to help buttress these challenging fractures. The study aims to 1) Determine the prevalence of segmental quadrilateral plate fractures (SQPF) in elderly patients; and 2) Assess if utilization of a QSP is associated with improved acetabulum fracture reduction and outcome. ⋯ Elderly acetabulum fractures have a high incidence (approaching 40%) of segmental QPF. Desirable (anatomical/imperfect) fracture reduction was associated with improved outcome. The use of a QSP was associated with improved ability to achieve an appropriate reduction. A QSP should be considered as they are both reliable and reproducible with a significantly improved fracture reduction and lower conversion to THA.
