Testing samples. In the plate fixation group (a) an anatomically pre-shaped plate with a quadrilateral buttress was applied and fixed to the three fragments of a standardized ACPHT acetabular fracture using 3.5-cortical screws. In the screw fixation group (b), fracture configuration fixed using two 6.5 mm-cannulated LC2-screws and one 6.5 mm-cannulated retrograde anterior column screw
