Abstract

Partial posterior wall fractures are usually fixed with open reduction-internal fixation through an open posterolateral approach, but when the fragment may be fixed without a plate (with screws only), reduction and fixation may also be achieved via hip arthroscopy with the patient in the prone position. This article presents all the surgical steps to perform this procedure.
