Abstract:
The incidence of acetabular fractures in the geriatric population is growing, yet the optimal treatment algorithm remains a controversial topic among orthopaedic surgeons. This review highlights key studies published over the past 5 years on the outcomes of various treatment options for geriatric acetabular fractures. Topics include surgical timing, mortality and risk factors, nonoperative treatment, open reduction internal fixation, and acute total hip arthroplasty.
