Hip Strength and Nerve Palsy After the Modified Stoppa Approach to Acetabular Fracture Reduction and Fixation

Decreased Hip Adductor Strength and Obturator Nerve Palsy After the Modified Stoppa Approach to Acetabular Fracture Reduction and Fixation: Is Retraction to Blame?

Summary

The purpose of this prospective study is to compare hip adductor strength and obturator nerve palsy between acetabular fracture patients whose fracture was reduced and fixated using the modified Stoppa approach (subjects) and pelvic fracture patients (controls) using physical strength testing, radiographs, clinical assessment, and a validated functional outcome questionnaire. The investigators' research hypothesis is that there will be less strength and higher incidence of obturator nerve palsy in patients treated with the modified Stoppa approach (intervention) than in patients treated without the modified Stoppa approach (controls).
