Acetabular Fractures in an Advanced Age - Current Knowledge and Treatment Options.

The demographic change in industrial countries leads to an increasing population that sustains an acetabular fracture in an advanced age. Some authors predicted elderly individuals to be the most rapidly growing subgroup of patients currently sustaining acetabular fractures. Gold standard of treatment of acetabular fractures remains the open reduction and internal fixation. Relevant factors impeding surgical treatment include the significantly decreased bone stock and the incapability of the patients to partially weight bear following surgery. Therefore, special considerations should be performed when dealing with this patient group as surgical treatment is associated with several risks and often accompanied by poor outcomes. This review aims to summarize the current body of knowledge and to give a recommendation concerning a surgical treatment cascade.
