Management of Geriatric Acetabulum Fracture – A Case Report

This case demonstrates that anatomical reduction and stable fixation of complex geriatric acetabular fractures can be achieved through the modified Stoppa approach with suprapectineal plating. More importantly, it establishes the feasibility and safety of an accelerated rehabilitation protocol enabling full weight-bearing by 6 weeks postoperatively. These findings significantly advance the management of osteoporotic acetabular fractures by providing orthopedic surgeons with a replicable treatment strategy that prioritizes early mobilization - a critical factor in reducing complications and improving functional outcomes in elderly patients. The protocol presented here has broad clinical implications for geriatric trauma care and post-operative rehabilitation.
