ABSTRACT

Introduction: acetabular fractures constitute between 0.3 and 0.6% of all observed fractures, being these injuries relatively infrequent. Objective: to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes of surgical treatment of patients with acetabular fracture treated in our hospital with a minimal follow-up of 11.5 years. The secondary objective is to determine the rate of failure in the hip joint of these patients and establish risk factors that are involved. Material and methods: 23 patients with acetabular fractures that were treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) were retrospectively analysed. They were follow-up during an average of 14 years (range 11.5-17.5). Fractures were classified by Judet y Letournel as simple or complex. Clinical and radiological outcomes were analysed by Harris scale. Results: We obtained an average of 81.90/100 on the Harris scale, aiming at better outcomes on simple fractures compare to those that were complex (p = 0.027). Higher scores were also achieved on those patients with an anatomical reduction (p = 0.033). Three patients required revision and placement of a total arthoplasty (13%). However, patients with body mass index (BMI) > 30 tend to achieve poor clinical results (p = 0.151). Conclusions: ORIF may be suggested for acetabular fractures since good clinical and radiological outcomes were recorded on a long-term follow-up. Complex fractures, non-anatomical reduction and BMI > 30 were identified as risk factors to coxarthrosis progression.
