Severe intraoperative vascular bleeding as main complication of acetabular fractures treated with plate osteosynthesis via the modified Stoppa approach

We read with great interest the article Severe intraoperative vascular bleeding as the main complication of acetabular fractures treated with plate osteosynthesis via the modified Stoppa approach by Julia Riemenschneider et al [1]. We appreciate the authors' efforts in describing intraoperative vascular bleeding in reduction acetabular fractures using the modified Stoppa approach. However, we had several concerns about the study results and believe that the authors' responses may help to address them.
