Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Transverse-oriented acetabular fractures (TOAFs), including transverse, transverse with posterior wall and T-shaped fractures, are always challenging for double-column reduction and fixation with minimally invasive method. The purpose of this study is to compare the therapeutic effects of robot-aided percutaneous anterior column screw fixation versus minimally invasive anterior plate fixation for TOAFs based on the Kocher-Langenbeck (K-L) approach.
