摘要
Anatomic structure of acetabular fractures are complex and operative exposure and fixation are extremely difficult. For those obviously displaced acetabular fractures, close reduction is doomed to cause deformative healing. Open reduction with internal fixation （ORIF） not only results in anatomic reduction, but also brings complications. No matter which method will be adopted, traumatic arthritis or avascular necrosis of femoral head might occur. In order totreat acetabular fractures more effectively, orthopedic surgeons should be required to fully master the acetabular anatomy, biomechanics, classification and the necessary knowledge for complication prevention.
