Left Acetabulum Fracture Dislocation Treated with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Using Plates and Screws | Balanku Hospital

Advanced Hip Trauma Management at Balanku Hospital

Acetabular fractures are complex injuries involving the socket portion of the hip joint. When associated with hip dislocation, the condition becomes a serious orthopedic emergency requiring precise surgical management to restore joint stability and function.

At Balanku Hospital, we specialize in managing complex pelvic and hip fractures using advanced surgical techniques. We are pleased to share the successful treatment of Mr. Anjineya, who presented with a left acetabulum fracture dislocation.

Understanding the Condition

Mr. Anjineya presented with:

• Severe pain in the left hip

• Inability to stand or bear weight

• Deformity of the hip joint

• Restricted hip movements

Clinical examination and imaging studies confirmed a Left Acetabulum Fracture Dislocation, where the hip socket was fractured and the femoral head was displaced from its normal position.

Such injuries require urgent and accurate reduction to prevent long-term complications such as joint stiffness, instability, or post-traumatic arthritis.

Surgical Procedure Performed

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) with Plates and Screws

Mr. Anjineya underwent Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) to:

• Realign the dislocated hip joint

• Restore the anatomical structure of the acetabulum

• Stabilize fracture fragments using plates and screws

• Ensure proper joint congruity

This surgical approach allows precise reconstruction of the hip socket and stable fixation for optimal healing.

Key Benefits of ORIF in Acetabular Fractures

• Accurate restoration of hip joint anatomy

• Stable fixation with plates and screws

• Improved joint stability

• Reduced risk of long-term complications

• Better functional recovery

The procedure was performed using advanced orthopedic trauma techniques to achieve proper alignment and secure fixation.

Procedure Overview

Post-Surgical Recovery & Rehabilitation

After surgery, Mr. Anjineya was placed on a structured rehabilitation protocol focusing on:

• Gradual mobilization

• Controlled weight-bearing as advised

• Hip range of motion exercises

• Muscle strengthening and gait training

Regular follow-up imaging confirmed progressive fracture healing.

Outcome

With successful surgical reconstruction and dedicated physiotherapy, Mr. Anjineya achieved:

• Stable hip joint alignment

• Good fracture healing

• Progressive weight-bearing ability

• Restoration of hip function

• Return to daily activities
