Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Approach-related complication rate<br>The complications were recorded at each study site during the inpatient treatment. The data were entered into the database.<br>The following complications were recorded: Surgical site infections (SSI), nerval lesions, vascular lesions, injury of adjacent organs / structures (e.g. spermatic cord in male patients).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Quality of reduction<br>The quality of reduction was checked by either a postoperative X-ray (iliac-oblique / Obturator-oblique) or by a postoperative CT scan. The maximal residual fracture step-off was measured in mm. According to Matta, the quality of reduction is graded as follows: grade 1 (anatomical): 0-2mm residual step-off, grade 2 (imperfect): 2-3mm residual step-off, grade 3 (poor): >3mm residual step-off.
