a critical analysis of the results reveals the following major factors in determining the outcome of an individual acetabular disruption : the damage to the acetabular articular surface , which is reflected by the pattern of fracture and its degree of comminution , impaction , and osteoporosis , and associated damage of the femoral head the adequacy of the reduction , which is reflected by intraoperative inspection and postoperative radiographs the associated complications of the fracture and treatment ( e.g. , avascular necrosis , sciatic palsy , and heterotopic ossification ) we recommend principles of treatment of acetabular fractures comparable to those employed for most other displaced intraarticular fractures , namely an anatomic reduction , stable internal fixation , and early motion , to realize reproducibly optimal results .
