The incidence and trauma mechanisms of acetabular fractures: A nationwide study in Finland between 1997 and 2014

The incidence of acetabular fractures increased slightly in Finland between 1997 and 2014. This increase was observed especially in the elderly population and the ageing of the population largely explains the rise. The incidence of acetabular fractures in the younger population decreased. The most common trauma mechanism was falling on the same level.
