Acetabular fractures being intra-articular, on a major weight bearing joint-the hip; pose major surgical challenges, especially the complex ones. This prospective study done at the Department Of Orthopaedics, Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital, Chromepet, Chennai from July 2013 to August 2016 analysed 38 cases of complex fractures of acetabulum, occurring in the age group of 18 to 60 years. The open reduction internal fixation functional outcome results were analysed using the modified Merle’s Aubigne and Postel grading system and the radiological outcome by the Mattas’ criteria. In our study 94% of patient had satisfactory result and 58% had excellent results as per Mattas’ radiological criteria.
