Abstract
The acetabulum is the socket of the hip joint and incongruence of the joint surface caused by fracture causes hip pain and posttraumatic arthritis. The usual choice of treatment for displaced acetabular fracture is operative treatment, which entails a challenging, stiff learning curve. The principle of treatment is restoring the stable and congruent hip joint for early mobilization to prevent local and systemic complications.
