Arthrosis after surgically treated acetabular fractures. A retrospective study of 60 cases

Acta Orthop Scand. 1992 Oct;63(5):511-4. doi: 10.3109/17453679209154725.

Abstract

59 patients with 60 surgically treated acetabular fractures were followed up to 25 years. Coxarthrosis developed within 3 years in 23 fractured hips. There was a high correlation between nonanatomic reduction and posttraumatic arthrosis. The long-term results after an acetabular fracture can be predicted within 2-3 years of surgery.
