Pelvis and Acetabulum Fractures
Also known as Socket Fractures
Our specialists at OrthoSouth can get you healed and back walking after a pelvis or acetabulum fracture
Different from a hip fracture, a fracture of the acetabulum (hip socket) can often be treated without surgery. However, occasionally surgery may be necessary. Once the fracture is seen, x-rays and a CAT scan may be performed and a walker or crutches prescribed for a period of time while the fracture heals. Once the fracture shows signs of healing, you may be allowed to increase your amount of walking.
The physical therapists at OrthoSouth also can help you heal while maintaining your strength.
