Deskripsi

Maintaining reduction of an acetabular fracture during internal fixation is difficult. A variety of clamps can be used to facilitate reduction, but they are cumbersome and may damage the sciatic nerve. We developed a simple and cost-effective technique for provisional reduction and fixation of acetabular fractures using 2 screws and a tension band wire.
