Clinical Management, Prognosis, and Outcomes of Bilateral Acetabular Fractures: A Case Report

Background: Bilateral acetabular fractures are a rare type of acetabular fracture, and due to the scarcity of information regarding these types of fractures, managing bilateral acetabular fractures presents significant challenges. We presented a 25-year-old man with bilateral acetabular fractures (left transverse fracture of the acetabulum and right posterior column fracture of the acetabulum) secondary to severe trauma following a road accident with no other pelvic damage. Case Report: Because the displacement was more on the patient's left side (although the patient's pain was more on the right side), the open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery was first performed on the left side, and secondary ORIF surgery was performed on the right side, under general anesthesia with Kocher-Langenbeck approach for both sides. Conclusion: Due to the increase in road traffic accidents (RTAs) and improper safety of cars, especially in developing countries, this type of fracture may be repeated in the future, and regarding the complexity and comorbidities associated with this type of fracture, the high experience of the surgeon and detailed investigations are required to achieve successful results.
