65 yr old male with acetabular fracture in the posterior column with anterior wall.
Such fractures used to be treated by just traction for months in the past. Now a days we follow the AO principle of absolute reduction and early mobilisation to give a better outcome to the joint.
Considering the general condition and weight of the patient just fixing the posterior column felt like the right thing to do, the joint congruity is within the range of standard deviation.
