Factors affecting the functional outcome of surgically managed displaced acetabular fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose of study

To evaluate the impact of various factors on functional outcome of surgically managed displaced acetabular fractures.

Methods

In this prospective study 50 cases of surgically managed displaced acetabular fractures were followed up to a mean of 28.6±4 months (18-48 months). The effect of age, associated injuries, fracture pattern (elementary/associated type), time to surgery (<2 weeks/>2 weeks), accuracy of reduction (anatomical/imperfect/poor), gender and associated hip dislocation on the clinical outcome was evaluated using Harris hip score and modified Postel Merle d'Aubigné score.

Results

The mean age was 36.6±11.9 years (range 19-67 years). There were 76% (n=38) males and 24% (n=12) females. 82% (n=41) patients sustained fracture due to motor vehi
