Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the radiological outcomes and post-operative complications of Acetabular Fractures treated with reconstruction plates. METHODOLOGY: It was a prospective descriptive study conducted at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Dow University of Health Sciences Karachi from May 2013 to April 2016. An aggregate number of 27 patients who were diagnosed with Acetabular fracture were enrolled in the study. The primary cause of fracture was road traffic accident. All the patients were treated with reconstruction plates. Post-operative complications and radiological outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS: Total 27 patients with Acetabular fracture were treated. Excellent radiological outcome was achieved in 29.6% of the patients, good radiological outcome was achieved in 48.2%, fair& pair radiological outcome was achieved in 11.1% of the patients. Post-operative complications like sciatic nerve injury was developed in 2 patients, myositis ossificans was in One (01) patient and Four patients develop a vascular necrosis and Three (03) had infection. CONCLUSION: Acetabular fractures are now common fracture because of high velocity Road traffic accident. Acetabulum fractures should be fixed timely to achieve the anatomical reduction and favourable outcome with fewer complications.
