    Intraoperative blood loss during ORIF for acetabular fractures is significant, especially with anterior approaches, impacting clinical outcomes.

  • 2

    Intra-aortic balloon occlusion (IABO) is effective in managing hemorrhagic shock and has been adapted for elective surgeries to control intraoperative bleeding.

  • 3

    This study evaluates the effectiveness of prophylactic percutaneous IABO in reducing intraoperative blood loss during acetabular fracture surgeries.

  • 4

    A total of 80 patients were included in the study, with 24 in the IABO group and 56 in the control group, matched for confounding factors.

  • 5

    The primary outcome measured was intraoperative blood loss, calculated from suction canister volume and estimated blood absorbed by surgical sponges.
