• Provides outcome data for the extended iliofemoral approach in complex, largely both-column acetabular fractures, an area where the choice of surgical approach remains debated. • Reinforces that reduction accuracy drives functional outcome, supporting the value of anatomical reduction as a technical goal regardless of approach chosen. • The 30% rate of significant heterotopic ossification, and its association with worse functional scores, underscores why the authors emphasize prophylaxis when using this approach.
