The occurrence of acetabular fractures is growing at a fast pace globally owing to increased crashes in train and highway traffic and high-speed injuries. The incidence of acetabular fractures is growing at a fast pace globally owing to increased crashes in train and highway traffic and high-speed injuries.
Included in the research were 30 individuals between 18 and 60 years of age with locked displaced acetabular bones. Depending on the type of fracture, a single surgical approach such as the Kocher-Langenbeck, the ilio-inguinal, and the extended ilio-femoral approach was selected, with the expectation that fracture reduction and fixation could be fully accomplished by the one approach.
Of the 30 individuals, 12 were between the ages of 21–30 and 10 were between the ages of 3140 and most were men engaged in road traffic accidents. The right-hand predominance was seen in 22 (73.33 percent) and left-sided injuries in 8 (26.66 percent). Fractures of the posterior wall were observed in 5 instances, while in 4 instances the transverse was observed. In 8 patients, combinations of both were observed. In more than 56 percent of studies, the results were outstanding and satisfactory in more than 30 percent of them.
For a stronger knowledge of long-term outcomes, the current research requires further follow up.
