Summary

Background: Historically, acetabular fractures were treated conservatively which leading to long lasting morbidity like severe pain, limitation of movement and osteoarthritis. Now, evidence suggest surgery for all acetabular fractures for better outcome. Objectives: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation of posterior wall of acetabulum fractures. Methods: This prospective clinical trial was conducted at Chittagong Medical College hospital, Chattogram, from January 2022 to February 2024. Sample size was 32 with fractures as per set criteria and was treated surgically. The outcome variables were functional (according to modified Merle D'Aubigne and Postel score) and radiological (according to Matta's grading). Evaluation was done at 6th weeks and at 03rd, 06th, 09th months. Detailed history, clinical examination, investigations, operative details, post-operative outcome and other parameters were documented. Data were collected in data collection form and were analyzed at the end of the study by using SPSS-25. P-value was considered as statistically significant when it was less than 0.05 and confidence interval was set at 95% level.
