The most widely used classification system for
acetabular fractures was developed by Judet, Judet and Letournel over
50 years ago primarily to aid surgical planning. As population demographics
and injury mechanisms have altered over time, the fracture patterns
also appear to be changing. We conducted a retrospective review
of the imaging of 100 patients with a mean age of 54.9 years (19
to 94) and a male to female ratio of 69:31 seen between 2010 and
2013 with acetabular fractures in order to determine whether the
current spectrum of injury patterns can be reliably classified using
the original system. Three consultant pelvic and

Complex displaced osteoporotic acetabular fractures in the elderly are associated with high levels of morbidity and mortality. Surgical options include either open reduction and internal fixation alone, or combined with total hip arthroplasty (THA). There remains a cohort of severely comorbid patients who are deemed unfit for extensive surgical reconstruction and are treated conservatively. We describe the results of a coned hemipelvis reconstruction and THA inserted via a posterior approach to the hip as the primary treatment for this severely high-risk cohort. We have prospectively monitored a series of 22 cases (21 patients) with a mean follow-up of 32 months (13 to 59).Aims
