Mid-term outcomes of acetabular fractures treated with acute fix and replace versus ORIF in the elderly: a multicentric study with minimum 5-year follow-up
Both ORIF and CHP provide satisfactory mid-term outcomes in elderly patients with acetabular fractures. However, CHP demonstrated fewer reoperations and better pelvic discomfort scores at five years. These findings support the growing evidence favoring acute fix-and-replace strategies in this population.
