Prospective Evaluation of Functional Outcomes Following Surgical Management of Acetabular Fractures
Abstract: This study evaluates the functional outcomes of surgically managed acetabular fractures. A prospective observational study was conducted on 20 patients with displaced acetabular fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Clinical and radiological assessments were performed using radiographs and computed tomography, and functional outcomes were measured using the Harris Hip Score during follow up. The majority of patients were young males, with road traffic accidents as the predominant cause. Posterior wall fractures were the most common pattern. Excellent to good outcomes were observed in 90% of patients based on the Harris Hip Score. Early surgical intervention with anatomical reduction and stable fixation was associated with favorable functional recovery. These findings support surgical management as an effective approach for displaced acetabular fractures.
