The pararectus approach in acetabular fracture fixation: evidence of reproducibility and learnability
Operative parameters, reduction quality, postoperative complications, and conversion to THA ≤ 24 months were comparable between the two surgeons. These findings indicate that, within a standardized workflow and instrumentation, the Pararectus approach can be applied safely and reproducibly even during the early phase of independent practice.
