Abstract

The current study is a prospective study on the functional outcome of open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures. About 30 patients were analyzed for the functional outcome of acetabular fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation over a period of one year and eight months from March 2017 to October 2018 with a minimum follow up period of 9 months at Sree Balaji Medical College & Hospital, Chromepet, Chennai. The mean age of the patient was 37.96 year ranging from 20 - 60 years. The Joel Matta score was used for calculation of radiological outcome of 30 patients. The results were excellent in 19 (66.3%), good in 8 (26.6%), fair in 3 (10%), and poor in 0 (0%) patients. Functional outcome of displaced acetabular fractures more than 2 mm displacement was found to have excellent results on open reduction and internal fixation.
