Marvin Tile | David L Helfet | James F Kellam | Mark Vrahas

Based on the AO Principles of Operative Management of Fractures as applied to the pelvis and acetabulum, this publication covers:

Definitive treatment of both fractures by operative approaches for reduction and internal fixation—from conventional methods to new percutaneous techniques

Surgical approaches to the pelvis

1.6-1	Symphysis pubis approach through modified Pfannenstiel exposure
1.6-2	Anterior approach to the sacroiliac joint and internal iliac fossa
1.6-3	Posterior approach to the pelvic ring
1.6-4	Posterior midline approach to the sacrum

Internal fixation of unstable fractures (types B3 and C)

1.8.6-1	Percutaneous iliosacral screw insertion: supine upper sacral segment
1.8.6-2	Percutaneous iliosacral screw insertion: prone upper and second sacral segments

Specific surgical approaches and technique

2.7-1	Kocher-Langenbeck approach—prone position
2.7-2	Kocher-Langenbeck approach—lateral
2.7-3	Gibson approach with a digastric greater trochanteric osteotomy
2.7-4	The iliofemoral approach
2.7-5	Ilioinguinal approach—Letournel
2.7-6	Ilioinguinal approach—intrapelvic modification
2.7-7	The extended iliofemoral approach
2.7-8	Heuter direct anterior approach to the hip joint
