The spring-locking plate fixation method demonstrated satisfactory outcomes for the treatment of posterior acetabular wall fractures. This technique provides rigid fixation. Furthermore, the use of variable-angle locking screws minimizes the risk of intra-articular perforations. Despite limitations such as a small sample size and the absence of a control group, the results suggest that the spring-locking plate fixation method may be valuable in managing these fractures.
