Summary

Acetabular fractures are articular fractures involving the hip joint that needs anatomical reduction and a strict long follow up after fixation.

Detailed description

The percentage of patients with lost follow up is significantly high. Previously all other studies mainly focused on the radiographic outcome after acetabular fractures and rarely on patient reported functional outcomes and quality of life. The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is increasing and may lead to modifications of treatment. Recent technologic advances, namely smartphones, capable of measuring outcomes after acetabular fractures are now very important in quantifying value-based care. This was previously accomplished through office assessments and surveys with variable follow-up but this strategy lacks continuous and complete data. Studies show that these remote modes of follow-up are safe and that patients are as equally satisfied with them as they are with in-person follow- up care

Conditions

• Acetabular Fracture
• PROMs
• Mobile Phone Use

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Mobile application	telemedicine is used to overcome distance when patients must travel to receive specialized care. We depend on the available, widely used smartphones via a mobile application to conduct follow up data as regard to patient quality of life and comparing this to conventional follow up visits and whether it help to obtain a complete follow up data
