![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Percutaneous Fixation of Geriatric Acetabular Fractures Percutaneous Fixation of Geriatric Acetabular Fractures](/preview/png/4079039.png)
The treatment of acetabular fractures in geriatric patients provides a unique set of challenges to the orthopaedic surgeon. Treatment strategies often differ from those employed to treat younger patients with acetabular fractures in order to minimize morbidity and mortality following these injuries. Treatment strategies to address these injuries include a repertoire of innovative methods for percutaneous or limited-open reduction and fixation in addition to traditional non-operative or open reduction and internal fixation methods. The purpose of this article is to discuss the challenges associated with the management of acetabular fractures in geriatric patients and to highlight current surgical techniques that can be applied to treat these patients.
