What is an Acetabular Fracture?

The acetabulum is the socket of the hip joint, a delicate cup-shaped structure that cradles the femoral head (the ball at the top of the thigh bone). When this socket is fractured, it’s like a puzzle piece is broken, making it difficult for the joint to function smoothly. Acetabular fractures can range from small cracks to complex shattering of the bone.

How do Acetabular Fractures Happen?

Acetabular fractures are often the result of high-energy trauma, such as:

Car accidents-A sudden impact can cause the femoral head to slam into the acetabulum, fracturing the socket.
Falls-A nasty tumble can land you on your hip, putting immense pressure on the acetabulum and leading to a fracture.
Sports injuries–Sports like football, hockey, or soccer can increase your risk of acetabular fractures due to collisions or falls.

Symptoms of Acetabular Fracture

Severe pain- A sharp, stabbing pain in your hip, groin, or buttock area.
Swelling and bruising-The affected area may become swollen, bruised, and tender to the touch.
Limited mobility-You may struggle to move your hip or leg, or feel unstable when standing or walking.
Instability-A feeling of the joint that is being unstable.

Diagosis of Acetabular Fracture

X-rays-To visualize the fracture and assess the extent of the damage.
CT scans-For a more detailed look at the fracture and surrounding tissues
MRI scans-To evaluate soft tissue damage and detect any associated injuries.

Treatment of Acetabular Fracture

Treatment for acetabular fractures depends on the severity and location of the fracture.

Non-operative management: Conservative treatment, such as pain management, advanced Physiotherapy such as Manual Therapy, Myofascial Release, Kinesiology Taping, bed rest.
Surgical management- Surgery to reduce and stabilize the fracture, using techniques like open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or percutaneous screw fixation.

Complications

Acetabular fractures can lead to complications, such as:

Post-traumatic Arthritis –The development of arthritis in the hip joint due to the fracture.
Avascular necrosis-Damage to the blood supply of the femoral head, leading to avascular necrosis.
Infection- Infection of the fracture site or surrounding soft tissues.
Nerve damage- Damage to the surrounding nerves, leading to numbness, tingling, or weakness.
