- W2346043293 abstract "The use of intramedullary column screws in the treatment of acetabular fractures is becoming more widely utilized. The development of percutaneous methods to insert these screws under image intensifier guidance is one of the main reasons for their increased use. Few groups are navigating insertion of these screws. The available screws are cannulated 6.5–8 mm screws. Most surgeons prefer using 3.2 mm guide wires to reduce deflection. With a shank diameter of 4.5 mm, 3.2 mm cannulation significantly weakens the screws. We postulated that both columns, specially the posterior column can accommodate larger screw diameters which will increase the stability of fixation allowing earlier full weight bearing. The currently used screws were designed for fixation of femoral neck fractures. As percutaneous fixation of acetabular fractures is a growing area of interest, this warrants designing suitable screws with larger diameters. Eight CT scans of the adult pelvis –performed for non fracture related indications-, were studied (7 females, 1 male). We found that the anatomical cross-section of the columns is irregular but approximately triangular. The method we used to determine the largest diameter of a screw to fit each column was fitting cylinders in the columns. Robin’s 3D software was used to segment acetabula and convert the CT data into polygon mesh (stereolithography STL format) bone surfaces at an appropriate Hounsfield value. The resulting STL files were imported in Robin’s Cloud software, where polygon mesh cylinders of 10 mm diameter were fitted in each column. These cylinders were then manipulated to achieve best fit and their diameters were gradually increased to the biggest diameter which still fitted in the column. The mean diameters of the fitted cylinders were 10.8 mm (range: 10–13mm) and 15.2 mm (range 14–16.5mm) for the anterior and posterior columns respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first investigation to study the cross sectional dimensions of the anterior and posterior columns of the acetabulum. Our small sample shows that both columns can safely accommodate larger screws than those currently used. We plan to investigate this further using cadavers." @default.
