Morphometric analysis of the anterior column of the acetabulum and safety of intramedullary screw fixation for its fractures in Indian population: a preliminary report

Introduction Morphometric variations of the anterior column of the acetabulum have been described in the literature for its complex structure, which can influence the safe containment of intramedullary screw for fixation of its fractures. The purpose of this CT-based study is to present a preliminary report on the morphometric variations and safety of intramedullary screw fixation of the anterior column of the acetabulum in the Indian population.
