Abstract

|
Acetabular fractures resulting from a high-energy injury show variable forms according to each fracture mechanism, and are composed of complex anatomical structures. Plain radiographs accompanying three-dimensional computer tomography is inevitable, because it is necessary to perform a multidirectional imaging analysis as a diagnosis. Conservative treatment, open reduction with internal fixation, percutaneous screw fixation, and primary artificial hip replacement can be performed. Despite the various treatment methods to the associated injuries, such as comminuted fracture, articular surface injury, poor bone quality and etc, are huge burden for the treatment. Further, there are varying complications, such as thromboembolism, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, infection, nerve palsy, heterotopic bone formation and etc. Therefore, physicians need to an accurate classification of fracture and be able to provide rehabilitation, as soon as possible, after rigid internal fixation via open anatomical articular reduction. also In addition, physicians must also pay great attention to prevent complications.
