Gestione e trattamento delle fratture acetabolari
Abstract
MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT OF ACETABULAR FRACTURES
Acetabular fractures are complex lesions and they require anatomical surgical reduction in order to achieve
satisfactory results in long-term follow-up. Some risk factors are associated with unfavourable results and have
confirmed that older patients with acetabular fractures have worse outcomes than younger patients. Total hip
replacement after an acetabular fracture generally produces good clinical results; however, in some contexts it must be
combined with correct stable fixation of the fracture. The type of fracture and overall patient conditions influence the
choice of the surgical technique and, consequently, the type of healing to lead to a satisfactory result.
