Surgical treatment of acetabular fractures remains challenging even for experienced surgeons.
-
Whilst the ilioinguinal and the Kocher-Langenbeck approach remain the standard procedures to expose the anterior or posterior aspects of the acetabulum, some modified anterior approaches for the stabilization of the acetabulum have been introduced.
-
This article will provide an overview of approaches to the anterior aspect of the acetabulum and explain the efforts that have been made to improve the surgeon’s options for certain fracture modifications, such as fractures with separation of the quadrilateral surface.

-
Fractures of the femoral head are rare injuries, which typically occur after posterior hip dislocation.
-
The Pipkin classification, developed in 1957, is the most commonly used classification scheme to date.
-
The injury is mostly caused by high-energy trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or falls from a significant height.
-
Emergency treatment consists of urgent closed reduction of the hip joint, followed by non-operative or operative treatment of the femoral head fracture and any associated injuries.
-
There is an ongoing controversy about the suitable surgical approach (anterior vs. posterior) for addressing fractures of the femoral head. Fracture location, degree of displacement, joint congruity and the presence of loose fragments, as well as concomitant injuries are crucial factors in choosing the adequate surgical approach.
-
Long-term complications such as osteonecrosis of the femoral head, posttraumatic osteoarthritis and heterotopic ossification can lead to a relatively poor functional outcome.

There are many digital solutions which assist the orthopaedic trauma surgeon. This already broad field is rapidly expanding, making a complete overview of the existing solutions difficult.
-
The AO Foundation has established a task force to address the need for an overview of digital solutions in the field of orthopaedic trauma surgery.
-
Areas of new technology which will help the surgeon gain a greater understanding of these possible solutions are reviewed.
-
We propose a categorization of the current needs in orthopaedic trauma surgery matched with available or potential digital solutions, and provide a narrative overview of this broad topic, including the needs, solutions and basic rules to ensure adequate use in orthopaedic trauma surgery. We seek to make this field more accessible, allowing for technological solutions to be clearly matched to trauma surgeons’ needs.
