Evaluation of Midterm Functional Results In Acetabular Fracture Surgeries: A Prospective Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Acetabular fractures are a major challenge for an orthopaedic surgeon. As with increasing incidence of such injuries due to an increase in the frequency of road traffic accidents, it is a major concern in most of the hospitals. This study was done at Patna Medical College & Hospital, Patna between 2012 to 2016, on 20 acetabular fracture patients. All cases were operated according to standard operative techniques and surgical approaches and were followed up to 26 months on average. The midterm functional results were assessed by Harris Hip Score at 18 months. In our study, 70% of the cases had good to excellent results. It was concluded that early operative intervention according to principles of intra-articular fractures, resulted in good functional outcomes in acetabular fractures.
