Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The mechanism of maintaining balance is a complex phenomenon, involving numerous systems of human body. High-energy trauma resulting in acetabular fracture damages some of the elements composing this delicate mechanism, potentially increasing the risk of falls in patients. There have not been any studies so far on balance levels in patients after surgical treatment of acetabular fractures.

Questions/purposes

1. Do balance disorders occur in patients after ORIF of acetabular fractures?
2. Do surgical approach and fracture pattern influence balance level of patients?
3. Should therapy programs include certain stabilometric parameters adequate especially for this type of injury?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Methods Between 2014-2017, investigators evaluated 110 subjects: 55 patients after surgical treatment of acetabular fracture - the study population (mean age 43.6 ± 14.8 years) and 55 healthy subjects - the clinical control group (mean age 43.8 ± 14.9 years).

To ensure reliability of results, controls were individually matched to appropriate study population patients, in terms age, sex, body height and mass.

The study was conducted in Public Hospital and the protocol was approved by the Commission of Ethics (SKE 01-21/2014).

Investigators measured static balance in double leg stance (eyes open/eyes closed) for 30s on CQStab2P, a double module stabilometric platform.

The pain component of the Harris Hip score and the quality of fracture reduction (according to Matta's criteria) in digitized anteroposterior and two oblique view radiographs were analyzed.
