Abstract:
Acetabular both-column fractures are challenging articular injuries. They usually require operative treatment.

Surgical strategy, choice of the most suitable approach, reduction manoeuvres and fixation techniques are presented, together with some tips and tricks that are worth knowing in the surgical reconstruction of these difficult fractures.
