Analysis of Distant Outcomes of Acetabular Fracture Surgery with 30-years’ Follow-up (1990-2020)

1. Distant outcomes of surgical treatment of acetabular fractures depend on numerous factors such as: stability of the patient's general condition, which may delay surgical treatment, detailed radiographic and CT assessment, which make it possible to assess the fractures 3-dimensionally and classify them according to the Judet and Letournel classification, degree of anatomical reduction of the fragments, especially in regard to the weight-bearing portion of the acetabulum, visible on postoperative 2D and 3D CT images. 2. Complex fractures according to Judet and Letournel, especially those that involve the posterior wall of the acetabulum or the acetabular dome, have poorer outcomes.
