NCT01763359

Brief 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).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Outpatient physical therapy strength testing will be used to assess hip adductor strength in all participants (subjects and controls).

    1 year follow-up after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Radiographs and clinical assessment at follow-up appointments will be used to determine incidence of obturator nerve palsy in both groups (subjects and controls).

    1 year follow-up after surgery

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Pelvic fracture patients and patients treated for acetabular fractures with the modified Stoppa approach will be asked to consent to a voluntary study investigating physical function at their 2 week follow-up appointment.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who are non-ambulatory.
  • Patients less than 18 years of age.
