Introduction

The clinical and functional outcome following simultaneous fractures of the acetabulum and pelvic ring represent a challenge for the clinician and are currently obscure in the existing literature.

Patients and Methods

Between January 2003 and July 2009 all patients with combined pelvic and acetabular fractures were included in this prospectively study. Demographic details, mechanism of injury, ISS, surgical procedures, post-operative course, length of hospital stay, and radiological (Matta's score) and functional outcomes (The Merle d' Aubigne hip score) were recorded. The minimum follow up was 12 months (12–72).
