What are Pelvis & Acetabulum Fractures?

The pelvis is the ring-shaped group of bones located at the base of the spine that supports the upper body and protects important organs, nerves, and blood vessels. The acetabulum is the cup-shaped socket of the hip joint where the head of the thigh bone (femur) fits.

A fracture involving the pelvis or acetabulum can affect walking, sitting, standing, and hip movement. These injuries may also be associated with damage to nearby nerves, blood vessels, or internal organs, making prompt evaluation and expert management essential.

Common Causes

Pelvic and acetabular fractures commonly occur due to:

• Road Traffic Accidents
• Falls from Height
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Industrial & Workplace Injuries
• Sports Trauma
• Crush Injuries
• Direct Impact to the Hip or Pelvis
• Osteoporosis-related Fragility Fractures in Older Adults

Symptoms

You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

• Severe pain in the hip, pelvis, or groin
• Inability to stand or walk
• Pain while moving the legs
• Swelling or bruising around the pelvis
• Difficulty sitting or changing position
• Leg weakness
• Numbness or tingling
• Visible deformity after an accident
• Pain after a high-impact injury

Conditions We Treat

Our specialists manage:

• Stable Pelvic Fractures
• Unstable Pelvic Ring Injuries
• Acetabular (Hip Socket) Fractures
• Multiple Pelvic Fractures
• Complex Pelvic Trauma
• Pelvic Fractures Associated with Hip Dislocation
• Osteoporotic Pelvic Fractures
• Pelvic Non-union & Malunion
• Post-traumatic Hip Joint Problems
• Associated Nerve & Soft Tissue Injuries

Our Treatment Approach

Every patient undergoes a detailed clinical assessment along with appropriate imaging to determine the exact pattern and severity of the fracture. Treatment depends on the stability of the injury, associated complications, age, activity level, and overall health.

Stable fractures may be managed conservatively with pain control, protected weight-bearing, and physiotherapy. Complex or displaced fractures often require advanced fracture fixation surgery using specialized implants to restore the normal anatomy of the pelvis and hip joint.

Following treatment, we provide individualized rehabilitation programs focused on restoring mobility, muscle strength, balance, and independent walking while minimizing complications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is an acetabulum fracture?

An acetabulum fracture is a break in the socket portion of the hip joint where the femoral head fits. It is usually caused by high-energy trauma such as road traffic accidents or falls from height.

2. Do all pelvic fractures require surgery?

No. Stable pelvic fractures may heal with conservative treatment, including rest, pain management, and physiotherapy. Surgery is generally recommended for unstable, displaced, or complex fractures to restore stability and alignment.

3. How long does recovery take after a pelvic fracture?

Recovery varies depending on the severity of the fracture and the treatment provided. Most patients require several weeks to months for complete healing, followed by rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility.

4. Can I walk after a pelvic fracture?

Walking ability depends on the type of fracture. Some patients require temporary support with crutches or a walker, while others may need surgery before weight-bearing is permitted. Your orthopaedic surgeon will guide you through the recovery process.

5. What complications can occur if a pelvic fracture is left untreated?

Untreated pelvic or acetabular fractures can lead to chronic pain, deformity, arthritis, difficulty walking, nerve injury, hip joint dysfunction, and reduced mobility.

6. Is physiotherapy necessary after pelvic fracture treatment?

Yes. Physiotherapy plays an essential role in improving strength, flexibility, balance, walking ability, and overall recovery after both surgical and non-surgical treatment.
