Background. Anterior pelvic ring fractures, including pubic symphysis disruption and pubic rami fractures, represent a complex clinical challenge in traumatology. They are associated with significant pain syndrome, loss of weight-bearing function, and often with damage to the anterior abdominal wall caused by stomas, drains, etc. There remains a strong demand in pelvic surgery for effective treatment methods that provide stable bone fixation in this anatomical region, shorten rehabilitation, and improve functional outcomes with minimal complications. The aim of the study — to demonstrate a new method of simultaneous fixation of pubic symphysis disruption and pubic rami fractures using the nail-plate combination. Surgical technique. A 10-cm Pfannenstiel incision was made directly along the superior edge of the pubic symphysis, followed by vertical incision of the aponeurosis and dissection of the prevesical space. After revision of the symphyseal rupture zone, the identified diastasis was reduced using Weber or small Jungbluth forceps. Sequential fixation of the pubic rami fractures was then performed with interlocking nails on both sides, but without inserting the locking screws. Without removing the guide from the last inserted nail, a plate was positioned so that its midpoint corresponded precisely to the midline of the reduced pubic symphysis. The nail was then interlocked with two 3.5-mm cortical screws through the plate holes. The guide was removed and connected to the remaining nail (the nail ends usually protrude 1-2 mm from the entry points and are easily palpable). Conclusion. The method of combined fixation using the nail-plate system is a technically feasible and safe approach for the treatment of pubic symphysis disruptions and pubic rami fractures.

Relevance. Terrorist acts of modern times lead to multiple wounds, destruction of soft tissues, organs, bones and joints, causing combined and combined mine-explosive wounds and explosive injuries. The purpose of the study. Analysis and synthesis of data on the provision of specialized care and the use of medical rehabilitation for victims who were in the zone of terrorist operations. Materials and methods. The results of diagnosis and treatment of 46 injured people who entered the institute in 2023-2024 from different regions of the Russian Federation were analyzed: Sevastopol (3), Moscow Crocus City (12), Belgorod (11), Kursk (20). All the victims were civilians. Results. The use of a differentiated approach in the provision of specialized care, including a one-time assessment of the condition upon admission based on instrumental data, stabilization of the condition, revision and additional removal of all injuries, taking into account the severity of the victim by different teams, early prevention of complications and early rehabilitation, contributes to the recovery of victims. In these conditions, it is necessary to form a comprehensive program that includes aspects of medical, professional, and socio-psychological assistance that promotes early recovery. Conclusions. Mine-explosion injuries to injured civilians who were in the combat zone are combined and multiple in nature. When providing specialized assistance to such victims, comprehensive instrumental diagnostics and a differentiated approach are necessary, which contributes to the early prevention of complications and early rehabilitation. The formation of a comprehensive program includes medical, professional and sociopsychological aspects and contributes to early recovery.

Background. Unstable fractures of the posterior pelvic ring represent a pressing concern in trauma surgery. Minimally invasive osteosynthesis techniques have gained widespread acceptance in contemporary practice. Accurate radiographic visualization is a critical component for the precise and successful placement of iliosacral and transsacral screws. Obtaining and accurately interpreting X-ray images can pose challenges in specific clinical situations, particularly those involving age-related skeletal changes. The aim of the study is to assess the influence of the patient’s age on the measures of pelvic radiographic inlet and outlet views angles for performing a sacral fracture fixation using cannulated screws. Methods. A retrospective analysis of CT data was conducted on 106 patients with posterior pelvic ring injuries requiring cannulated screw fixation. Preoperative CT scans were reconstructed into sagittal projections. We performed construction and measurement of the true inlet angle, super-inlet angle, pelvic outlet angle, sacral concavity angle, promontory angle, S1 and S2 outlet view angles. Statistical correlation between sacral tilt angle and the patient’s age was assessed. Results. A two-step cluster analysis divided the patient cohort into two groups with significant differences in pelvic outlet angles and age (N1 = 64, N2 = 42). Statistically significant differences were found between the two clusters in all the studied parameters: median values of true pelvic inlet angles were 27.2° [23.2-32.2] and 18.2° [11.4-26.6] respectively (p0.001); super-inlet angles were 42.5° [39.3-47.8] and 36.2° [28.7-42.8] respectively (p0.001); promontory angles were 128.1° [123.3-133.2] and 122.1° [115.6-129.3] respectively (p = 0.003); pelvic outlet angles were 62.6° [58.4-69.6] and 50.3° [45.9-53.5] respectively (p0.001); S1 outlet angles were 51.8° [48.9-56.5] and 46.8° [43.1-50.2] respectively (p0.001); S2 outlet angles were 40.8° [37.3-44.6] and 35.7° [30.9-38.6] respectively (p0.001); the mean of the sacral concavity angles was 174.8°±10.5 and 152.1°±38.2 respectively (p0.001); and the main age was 41.6±18.7 and 69.2±16.1 years respectively (p0.001). A statistically significant inverse correlation between age and pelvic tilt angle (ρ = 0.534; p0.001) was found. A novel diagnostic method for identifying sacral dysmorphism using angle measurement within the S1 bone corridor is presented. The sacrum was considered dysmorphic if the angle was equal to or less than 5°. Conclusions. As the patient’s age increases by one year, pelvic outlet angle decreases by 26°. If pelvic inlet angles are equal to or less than 14.45°, the difficulties in visualizing S1 and S2 outlet views during surgery are to be expected. The median of angles difference before and after anterior sacral tilt correction using a coccyx pad was 9.4° with interquartile range from 7.8° to 11°. Significant anatomical variations in posterior pelvic ring structure were observed among the study cohort. Preoperative CT sagittal reconstructions allow appropriate planning of intraoperative visualization considering expected intraoperative radiographic inlet and outlet views.

Introduction According to domestic and foreign authors, the leading cause of death in victims with polytrauma is blood loss. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is one of the new promising ways to manage bleeding in patients in a state of traumatic shock. There are a large number of publications in the world scientific literature indicating the high effectiveness of this technology in the treatment of bleeding. However, in the Russian Federation, this method has not yet entered into everyday practice, and scientific research on this matter is scarce. AIM Based on literature data and analysis of our own sample, to justify the need to use REBOA technology for the treatment of victims with polytrauma.Material and methods A retrospective analysis of the medical records of patients with polytrauma admitted to the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine in 2021 was carried out. Data from medical records and the Results of forensic medical examinations were studied. The main sample included victims with polytrauma (Injury Severity Score, ISS, of more than 17 points) delivered from the scene of the incident in a state of traumatic shock (systolic blood pressure, SBP, of less than 90 mm Hg) and a verified source of bleeding. To assess the potential survival of victims, we used the Trauma Score and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) scale.Results Of the 92 patients with polytrauma, 19 patients (20.6%) had indications for REBOA. The most common sources of bleeding were injuries to the pelvic ring, 14 (73.7%), abdomen, 11 (57.9%), and chest, 7 (36.8%). In 6 victims (31.5%), there were combined abdomen and pelvic injuries as the area of blood loss. The mean age of the victims was 48.8±19.9 years, the mean ISS value was 39.4±20.1. On admission, the mean SBP was 62.4±31.5 mm Hg, and heart rate — 91.8±43.3 beats/min. In 8 victims (42.1%), norepinephrine was administered immediately upon hospitalization at an average dose of 837.5±537.0 ng/kg/min. As a result of their injuries, 15 patients (78.9%) died, and 4 were discharged from the hospital. According to the Conclusions of forensic experts, the leading cause of death was blood loss in 11 (61.1%), severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 4 (22.2%), and infectious complications in 3 cases (16.7%).The TRISS was calculated for each patient. In order to identify the most potentially viable patients with indications for REBOA, we excluded 5 patients with severe TBI (the mean TRISS was 20.9±11.1%), and 5 patients with the TRISS of less than 50% (the mean TRISS was 10.0±14.1%), the latter died from hemorrhagic shock. Among the remaining 9 patients with higher TRISS values, 5 (26.3%) who died had the mean TRISS of 80.5±15.8%, comparable to the mean TRISS of 83.3±2.4% in the 4 survivors.Conclusion 1. According to foreign and domestic publications, the technology of resuscitation endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is effective for stopping internal bleeding in patients with polytrauma. 2. When analyzing our own sample of patients, it was proven that 20.6% of patients with polytrauma had indications for the use of REBOA. Most of them (78.9%) died. The main cause of death was hemorrhagic shock. 3. About a quarter of patients (26.3%) with indications for REBOA had a potentially high chance of survival. In the future, the use of this technology may reduce the number of deaths.

Using the example of clinical observation, the features of withdrawal from shock, the possibility of using hemofiltration in the early stages after severe combined trauma complicated by blood loss to soft tissues, which made it possible to avoid the development of infectious complications, are shown.

Background. The rapid advancement of modern surgical methods for treating pelvic bone fractures has underscored the necessity for developing a new terminological framework. This is because the classical anatomical terminology of the pelvis no longer aligns with the demands of the therapeutic process and scientific research in this field. The traditional set of anatomical names and landmarks falls short in providing detailed descriptions of all intricacies of injuries when employing contemporary surgical techniques. The existing terminology system needs to catch up with the level of contemporary pelvic surgery, enabling a comprehensive and understandable characterization of existing pathology and the treatment being administered for all medical professionals. Purpose of the study was to create names for certain parts of the pelvic bones and their areas that currently lack specific designations and to propose the developed terms for professional discussion. Methods. A retrospective analysis was conducted on X-rays and computer tomography scans of patients with pelvic bone injuries, performed from 2020 to 2022. A list of potential new anatomical terms was compiled through a literature review. Results. In several cases, we encountered a deficiency of terms in diagnosing pelvic injuries and describing surgical procedures. New terms were developed to denote areas of the pelvis and their injuries, including the pubic bone base, vertical fractures of the pubic bone base, longitudinal fractures of the pubic bone base, incomplete rupture of the pubic symphysis, the base of the ilium, longitudinal fracture of the iliac base, fracture-subluxation and fracture-dislocation of the iliac base, calcar of the iliac bone, calcar spike, and the bone corridor. Conclusions. The incorporation of new anatomical terms into clinical practice will help enhance the precision of diagnosis and surgical planning in pelvic fractures. Standardizing the terminology will promote uniformity in approaches and knowledge sharing among specialists, ultimately improving the quality of surgical care for patients with pelvic injuries.

The treatment of traumatic soft tissue detachments is an urgent problem for a first-level trauma hospital. This paper provides an analysis of the literature sources of the PubMed database, which are devoted to the classification, diagnosis and treatment of traumatic skin detachments. It was revealed that most of the works are publications of 1–2 clinical cases, only a few works are retrospective studies of patient groups. Currently, there is no generally accepted classification of traumatic detachment of soft tissues, due to the complexity and mosaic nature of pathoanatomical signs. According to the tactics of treatment, there is a difference in approaches for low-energy trauma (sports injury) and high-energy impact (traffic accidents, falls from a height). In the first case, the treatment methods are compression therapy, physiotherapy, and in rare cases, puncture. In the second case, puncture and drainage are the main method of treatment, and in persistent recurrent cases, chemical ablation or open surgery to excise the capsule in combination with vacuum drainage are the methods of treatment. Methods of endoscopic treatment of the walls of the detachment, ligation of the lymphatic vessels around the detachment, and the use of blockable sutures for obliteration of the detachment cavity are currently new methods of treatment, which effectiveness requires further study.

Traumatic testicular dislocation can be easily missed, especially against the background of obvious severe injuries in a patient with multiple and concomitant trauma. Despite the fact that traumatic testicular dislocation is a rare condition and does not pose an immediate threat to patient safety, it can cause serious consequences leading to male infertility. To prevent complications, this pathology should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. For this purpose, it is necessary to exercise diagnostic vigilance and conduct an appropriate examination in patients with polytrauma, especially those received while riding a motorcycle. The diagnosis of the trauma can be made if, on physical examination, there is a dense elastic formation corresponding to a displaced testicle with simultaneous desolation of half of the scrotum. This will help speed up the diagnosis and initiation of treatment, as well as facilitate preoperative planning of interventions on the bones of the anterior pelvic ring. Therefore, diagnostic instrumental and physical examination with palpation of both testicles upon admission is highly recommended.

In minimally invasive treatment of obstructive jaundice, complications may occasionally occur: separation of a fragment of a conductor, drainage, balloon catheter, poor function of a plastic endoprosthesis. There are two possible methods for percutaneous removal of foreign bodies: extraction and pushing into the duodenum. Two observations of percutaneous removal of conductor fragments from the bile ducts are presented.

On the example of a clinical observation, we demonstrate the possibilities of dynamic multimodality imaging techniques and clinical and laboratory data, taking into account the severity of the concomitant trauma, which allow us to reflect objectively the dynamics of post-traumatic changes in the organs and tissues and predict the course of multiple organ failure (MOF). Consistency and adequate choice of treatment tactics with early use of active detoxification methods contribute to a favorable outcome.

Introduction. Injuries to the brachial plexus are one of the most severe types of injuries to the nerves of the upper limb, and variants with the separation of the roots from the spinal cord represent a very difficult category of injuries to treat. Among patients who have received such injuries, there is a very high incidence of disability, since it is possible to achieve only partial restoration of the function of the upper limb. Recently, the method of transposition of functioning muscles has been growing in popularity due to its reliability and relatively short recovery time of function. The purpose of the work is to analyze the literature data on the possibility of using the method of transposition of functioning muscles in the complex treatment of victims with brachial plexus injuries. The authors have searched PubMed and RSCI databases over the past 25 years for keywords: peripheral nerve damage, tendon transposition, transposition of functioning muscles, nerve injury, brachial plexus injury, spinal cord root avulsion. In the selected 23 most relevant papers, the muscles used for transposition, indications and timing of operations, results and complications were analyzed, compared with other methods of surgical treatment of brachial plexus injuries. The analysis of studies has shown that the transposition of functioning muscles allows in most cases to restore the target movement to the useful level of M3–M4 on the MRC scale, is a more reliable method and allows achieving better results, especially in patients with severe complete injuries of the brachial plexus. An important disadvantage of free hip thin muscle transplantation operations is the risk of microanastomosis thrombosis, which requires detailed preoperative planning and good microsurgical technique of the operating team. Conclusion. Free transplantation of 2 functioning muscles is currently the method of choice for restoring upper limb movements in patients with complete brachial plexus injuries.

Elvic vein injuries can occur with pelvic bone fractures, gunshot wound injury, iatrogenic injuries and lead to life-threatening bleeding. Ct is the main diagnostic tool in differentiating arterial from venous bleeding. Open surgical repair of venous injuries can be technically difficult. Endovascular treatment is an attractive alternative strategy. Embolization is the main method to stop arterial bleeding; balloon occlusion and stent graft implantation are also used. Arterial embolization cannot help in the situation of venous bleeding. The problem of endovascular treatment of pelvic vein injuries was not given enough attention. The purpose of this review is to summarize the available reports on the use of endovascular techniques in pelvic vein trauma and show the capabilities of the methods.

Background Nowadays, since the older people are keeping and increasing their professional and social activity, the risk of injury in these patients is escalating. However, the results of polytrauma treatment among patients over 60 years old are worse than in the group of younger patients. This may be associated with the presence of concomitant somatic pathology, which worsens the prognosis of for survival among elderly and senile patients. In the modern literature, there is no description of effective tools for assessing the comorbid status in elderly and senile patients with polytrauma. Nevertheless, there are scales and indices of comorbidity developed for non-surgical patients. To increase the effectiveness of treatment of patients over 60 years of age with polytrauma and a several concomitant diseases, it is necessary to develop new or adapt one of the already created tools for assessing comorbid status.Purpose of the study To assess the dependence of the mortality rate in a group of patients with polytrauma over 60 years of age on the presence of concomitant somatic pathology and its severity, calculated by the geriatric index of comorbidity.Materia l and methods During the period from 2005 to 2020, 116 patients with polytrauma and chronic somatic pathology were treated at the Sklifosovsky Institute. The inclusion criteria for the study were the following: patients aged over 60 years old; или patients’ age over 60 years old; the Injury Severity Score over 17, the presence of concomitant somatic pathology in patients. The exclusion criteria were the lack of complete necessary information in the medical history, patients’ age being less than 60 years old. The Geriatric Index of Comorbidity was calculated for each patient. A retrospective analysis was conducted.Results A Geriatric Index of Comorbidity of 3 or more in the elderly patients with polytrauma was found prognostically unfavorable for survival (p=0.005). When implementing the Geriatric Index of Comorbidity rating system, the presence of concomitant somatic pathology was found to have the greatest impact on elderly and senile patients with polytrauma and Injury Severity Score 18–24 (p=0.001).Conclusion The system of calculating the Geriatric Index of Comorbidity is advisable to use for assessing the risk of mortality from concomitant somatic pathology and its severity in patients with polytrauma over 60 years of age.

Background. The quality of fractures reposition in open osteosynthesis is one of the important factors determining the outcome of treatment. Often, the reposition and fixation of bone fragments is not an easy task. The authors propose a method of reposition and temporary fixation of fragments using plastic ty-raps used in electrical work. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the possibilities of new method of intraoperative reposition and fixation of bone fragments using plastic ty-raps. Materials and Methods. Ty-raps were sterilized before the surgery in the modes intended for the preparation of polymer products. After the fragments were dissected, their reposition and fixation are carried out with the help of clamps and bone clamps. At this stage, there is a need for the use of ty-raps, since the bone clamps prevent the plate from laying on the bone. To do this, 3-4 plastic ty-raps were applied to the areas of bone free from bone clamps in the area of the fragments contact. In those places where an intact periosteum and muscles are attached to the fragment, narrow transverse channels in soft tissues are formed with the instrument to wrap the bone with a ty-rap. Then the free end of the ty-rap is passed through its lock and tightened as much as possible. After tightening all the ty-raps, the bone clamps are removed. The applied ty-raps reliably keep the bone fragments from any displacement, even when the segment rotates. A bone plate is placed on the bone surface with tightened ty-raps. Then the plate fixed to the bone with screws. The plate should be placed on the bone without strong pressing, which allows you to remove the ty-raps from under the plate at any stage of osteosynthesis. The ty-raps are removed by cutting them with a scalpel or snacking with wire cutter, then the plate is fixed to the bone with the remaining screws. Conclusion. Ty-raps have many positive properties: they are affordable, cheap, do not lose their mechanical properties after sterilization, allow you to securely hold bone fragments during reposition, X-ray negative. The method has demonstrated convenience and reliability.

Background. Severe fractures of the shin bones are often accompanied by the formation of defects in the tibia, suppuration and soft tissue necrosis. In the case of surgical treatment of fractures, infectious complications reach 3.6-9.1%. One of the methods of treatment of infected defects is resection of the ends of the tibia with shortening. This operation has proven to be effective in the treatment of fresh fractures. The relevance of the work is due to the prospects of using this technique in the treatment of the consequences of fractures with the formation of infected defects of the tibia.Aim of the study. Improving the results of treatment of patients with post-traumatic defects of the tibia complicated by osteomyelitis by performing a shortening resection with simultaneous or sequential correction of the segment length.Material and methods. The results of treatment of 65 patients with diaphyseal post-traumatic tibial defects complicated by osteomyelitis were analysed. They were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 was formed by 31 (47.7%) patients, they underwent shortening resection of the ends of bone fragments in the defect zone with simultaneous lengthening at another level. Group 2 included 34 (52.3%) patients who underwent a shortening resection of the tibia without lengthening. In all cases, the Ilizarov apparatus was used as a fixator.Results. The technique for assessing the size of the true defect of the tibia was optimized taking into account the initial shortening of the segment and the distance between the proximal and distal fragments after resection of their ends. A treatment regimen was developed depending on the level of localization of the tibial defect, and the results of treatment of patients in the compared groups were assessed.Conclusion. Shortening resection is an effective treatment for patients with post-traumatic tibial defects complicated by osteomyelitis. Depending on the level of localization of the defect, it is advisable to carry out treatment according to one of two possible options. When the defect is localized in the upper and middle third of the tibia, shortening resection in an isolated form is shown. If the defect is localized in the lower third of the tibia, it is possible to supplement the shortening resection with an osteotomy in the upper third with Ilizarov lengthening.

Background. Restoration of the pelvic bones and acetabulum anatomy after fracture is an important criterion for functional outcome. Often, the reduction of flat pelvic bones is not an easy task. The authors proposed a method of reduction using a special support site of two or three 3.5 mm cortical screws for Matta bone forceps. The aim of the study was to demonstrate a new way of pelvic bones fragments reduction. Method Description. Three clinical situations are presented when a new method was used: 1) reduction of a pointed fragment of the acetabulum posterior column transverse fracture; 2) reduction of the acetabulum quadrilateral plate fragments with medial displacement and 3) reduction the rupture of the pelvic bones in the sacroiliac joint with the vertical displacement. Previously, a support site was created in one of the fragments from two or three not fully twisted 3.5 mm cortical screws. One of the Matta bone forceps branches was placed on the formed site, and the second on another fragment and the displacement was eliminated. Then the final osteosynthesis was performed with pelvic plates and/or cannulated screws according to the surgical plan. Before closing the wound the support site was removed. Conclusion. The proposed method has shown its effectiveness during the reduction of the flat bones fragments, as it allows you to compress the spongy bones of the pelvis with a thin cortical layer stronger, compared with existing methods during which fragments splitting and pulling out anchor screws in the branches of reduction forceps can occur. The developed method of reduction demonstrated convenience and reliability.

The conducted analysis of Russian and foreign literature sources showed that the problem of diagnostics and treatment of polytrauma in elderly and senile patients is still relevant. The main discussion point is the high mortality rate in this group of patients. Although at this level of the medicine’s evolution, an active approach to the treatment offered to such patients is applicable, the mortality rate in this group of patients remains much higher than in the group of patients under 65. The priority here is to study the difficulties of diagnosing injuries in elderly and senile patients with polytrauma. Also, a fundamental issue is the development of an effective algorithm for the surgical treatment of injuries, taking into consideration age­related changes, the presence of concomitant pathology and an increased risk of complications in patients of this age group.

Unfortunately, suppuration of a postoperative wound remains the most frequent complication of surgical intervention. If suppuration is located superficially, within the subcutaneous fat, it can be successfully managed with minimal functional losses. The clinical course is significantly complicated if the focus of infection is located under the skin, in the thickness of the muscles, in the fracture zone. In the case of suppuration in the area of osteosynthesis, the complication may become critical.Such a complication is a serious condition that requires multi-stage complex and sometimes multidisciplinary treatment.The conditions for a successful outcome in this pathology are the minimum period from the moment of suppuration, active surgical tactics, stability of the implant, and good vascularization of the surrounding soft tissues.Active surgical tactics involves the opening and sanitation of purulent foci, leaks, recesses. Staged necrectomies are inevitable companions of surgical treatment and can cause the formation of defects in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscles.The resulting soft tissue defect leads to exposure of the bone and plate. Removal of the metal fixator becomes inevitable.Only the closure of the defect with a complex of tissues based on free vascularized composite grafts can radically solve the problem.The article presents two clinical observations of deep wound infection after bone osteosynthesis, where autotransplantation of a vascularized flap was used. The use of this technique made it possible to achieve suppression of infection, wound healing by primary intention, to create conditions for consolidation of the fracture, restoration of function and preservation of the limb as a whole.

Background. In acetabular fractures, the correct choice of the surgical approach is mandatory to achieve accurate reduction and to avoid complications. Anterior approaches include the ilioinguinal, the Stoppa, the iliofemoral and the pararectal exposures. The ilioinguinal and the Stoppa approaches are the most ones nowadays. The purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy of modified Stoppa and ilioinguinal approach in the management of acetabular fractures in terms of quality of reduction achieved, complication rates, functional outcomes, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, view angle of the surgical wound, the applicability of the forceps. Materials and Methods. The study enrolled 53 adult patients. We evaluated 53 cases of treatment of patients underwent acetabular fractures osteosynthesis. The patients were divided into two groups. We used the Letournel approach in group 1 (n = 27), the Stoppa/iliac approach — in group 2 (n = 26). The group 2 was split into two subgroups: in subgroup 2A, osteotomy of the anterior superior spine was performed (n = 13), in subgroup 2B, we did not perform it (n = 13). The following parameters were compared: the quality of reposition of fragments, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, damage to neural structures, viewing angle, and ease of use of pelvic instruments for reduction. The functional outcome was assessed by the Majeed scale. Results. Comparison of the two approaches showed that the indices of reduction of fragments, total blood loss and operation time did not differ significantly and were not statistically significant (p0.05). However, there were more neurological complications in group 1, but they did not affect the treatment outcome. The angle of the sector of view during the operation with osteotomy of the anterior superior spine of the pelvic wing is about 90°, which contributes to a more efficient use of repositioning instruments. The functional results of treatment were the same in both groups in 12 months after surgery. Conclusion. The Letournel and the Stoppa/iliac approach are equivalent in terms of the degree of reduction, operation time and blood loss during the operation. Application the Stoppa/iliac approach helps to avoid iatrogenic meralgia paresthetica unlike Letournel approach. The Stoppa/iliac approach and osteotomy of the anterior superior spine provides better visualization and provides a greater degree of freedom for the surgeon during manipulation tools for reposition.
