Socioeconomic Factors Influencing Self-reported Outcomes After Posterior Wall Fractures of the Acetabulum: Lessons Learned From a Hispanic Population.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Demographic and socioeconomic factors are important determinants that may affect patient self-reported outcomes after acetabular fracture surgery. Hispanics, as a minority group, have an increased tendency to suffer demographic and socioeconomic disparities. At the present time, there is scant information regarding their role among Hispanic patients with acetabular fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate whether demographic or socioeconomic factors would affect satisfaction and self-reported functional outcomes in Hispanic patients who endured open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of posterior wall fractures of the acetabulum.

Methods

A cross-sectional study of 78 patients with posterior wall fracture of the acetabulum treated with ORIF from 20
