Abstract
- Management of acetabular fractures in elderly patients is challenging. The challenges arise due to associated medical comorbidities, poor bone quality and comminution. There are multiple modalities of treatment. the exact algorithms or treatment remain undefined. Treatment is still based on experience and some available evidence. The options include conservative treatment, percutaneous fixation, open reduction internal fixation and the acute fix and replace procedure. There is a well recognised risk of each treatment option. We present a narrative review of the relevant available evidence and our treatment principles based on experience from a regional tertiary pelvic-acetabular fracture service.
