Abstract

An anatomical reduction and maintainance of articular fracture is on of the basic principles In Orthopedic Surgery if good function is to ensue, especially in a major welght bearing joint such as hip knee ankle. In displaced articular fractures, excellent results can be achieved mainly by an open anatomical reduction and firm internal fixation. We performed an open reduction and internal flxation with plates and screws in a patient with the severely comminuted acetabular fracture, and a satisfactory result is obtained.
