AbstractAcetabular fracture surgery follows the primary aim of anatomic reduction and rigid stable fixation of the fracture. Infraacetabular screws (IAS) allow for an increased stability of the acetabular fixation by closing the periacetabular fixation frame without requiring an additional posterior approach. The osseous screw corridor for infraacetabular screws use the transition zone between the acetabular ring and the obturator ring. The infraacetabular screw corridor (IAC) shows a double-cone shape with an isthmus located near the acetabular fovea. The iliopectineal eminence (IE) is mainly used as a clinical landmark for the intraoperative assessment of the entry point of IAS. The inlet view, the combined obturator oblique outlet view and a 1/3 iliac oblique outlet view may be used for the intraoperative radiological assessment for both the entry point and the screw trajectory of IAS. Several biomechanical studies have shown that IAS increase the stiffness of the internal fixation. Scientific proof for an improved clinical outcome is still missing.
