| 20140257407 | FIXATION DEVICE FOR QUADRILATERAL PLATE FRACTURES OF THE ACETABULUM VIA ILIOINGUINAL APPROACH - The present invention relates to an orthopedic internal fixator, especially a fixator for quadrilateral plate fractures of the acetabulum via ilioinguinal approach, which includes a shaped fixing titanium plate, whose outer contour is arc-shaped and basically the same as the pelvic arcuate line. While the pre-bending curvature of the proximal plate for quadrilateral plate is slightly greater than that of the arcuate line, making the proximal end of the titanium plate slightly away from the arcuate line. Elliptical fixing holes are evenly arranged along the fixing titanium plate, while the 3˜5 holes on the middle part are low-profile oval shape fixing holes.
