Acetabular Fractures

Abstract

Nowadays, the increase in the frequency of accidents also increases the incidence of high- energy acetabular fractures. Additional systemic injuries are frequently observed since they are high-energy injuries. Their rare occurrence, poor surgical background and experience, and complex anatomy complicate surgical interventions in these fractures and reduce the desired levels of success. Conservative treatment increases the incidence of post-fracture osteoarthritis. Effective studies of Judet and Letournel formed the basis of the modern literature. Furthermore, the three-dimensional structure of the acetabulum has been better understood with the developing imaging methods, and there has been an increase in the tendency toward surgery. Anatomical reduction and early rehabilitation should be the goal in acetabular fractures, as in all intra-articular fractures.
