Acetabular Fracture Treatment in Gurgaon| Dr. Hemant Sharma

What is an Acetabular Fracture?

An acetabular fracture is a break in the socket portion of the hip joint, where the head of the femur (thighbone) fits into the pelvis. These injuries are often caused by high-impact trauma such as car accidents, falls from height, or sports injuries. Acetabular fractures are complex and require expert evaluation and treatment.

Symptoms of Acetabular Fracture

Common signs of an acetabular fracture include:

• Severe hip or groin pain
• Inability to bear weight on the affected leg
• Swelling and bruising around the hip
• Limited mobility or stiffness
• Possible leg length discrepancy

If you suspect a hip or pelvic injury, immediate medical attention is essential.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Dr. Hemant Sharma, a renowned orthopaedic surgeon in Gurgaon, performs a comprehensive clinical examination, supported by advanced imaging tests like:

• X-rays
• CT Scan
• MRI (in some cases)

Early diagnosis helps in planning the most effective treatment approach.

Acetabular Fracture Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the severity and type of the fracture, along with the patient’s age, mobility, and overall health. Options include:

1. Non-Surgical Management

• Recommended for non-displaced fractures
• Includes bed rest, pain management, and physical therapy
• Use of walking aids for limited mobility

2. Surgical Treatment (Open Reduction & Internal Fixation – ORIF)

• Performed when the fracture is displaced or unstable
• Realignment of bone fragments and fixation with plates and screws
• Post-surgery rehabilitation to restore hip function
