Abstract

Background
This study compared the open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures by the ilioinguinal and modified Stoppa approaches among patients presented to Zagazig University Hospitals from December 2019 to December 2021.
Methods
All patients were operated upon from the second day to thirteen-day after trauma. Spinal anesthesia was used for 4 patients, the rest by general anesthesia. Plain x- rays, Judet views, and CT scans were obtained for all patients. The reduction was graded on all 3 radiographic views using the scoring system published by Matta. Displacement
