Acetabular trauma refers to injuries involving the acetabulum, the socket of the hip joint, often resulting from high-energy accidents such as motor vehicle collisions or falls.
1
Reduction and Fixation
Fractured acetabular bones are realigned (reduced) and stabilized with surgical implants such as plates, screws, or pins.
2
Bone Grafting
In cases of severe bone loss or comminuted fractures, bone grafts may be used to augment the acetabular reconstruction.
3
Joint Preservation
Whenever possible, efforts are made to preserve the native hip joint and maintain its function through anatomical reduction and stable fixation.
