At JS Hospitals, we specialize in complex trauma surgeries, particularly focusing on pelvic and acetabular fractures. These types of injuries often result from high-impact trauma, such as car accidents, falls from a height, or severe sports injuries. Pelvic and acetabular fractures can significantly impact a patient’s mobility and quality of life, making timely and precise surgical intervention crucial.

Pelvic fractures are often the result of severe trauma and can be life-threatening due to the proximity to vital organs and blood vessels. They can involve fractures to the pelvic ring, sacrum, or iliac bones. At JS Hospitals, our expert orthopedic surgeons use advanced techniques to treat complex pelvic fractures, including:

Surgical Fixation: Using plates, screws, and rods to stabilize the pelvis and restore its structural integrity.
Minimally Invasive Techniques: When possible, we employ minimally invasive methods to reduce recovery time, minimize blood loss, and decrease the risk of infection.
Rehabilitation and Recovery: Post-surgery rehabilitation is crucial for restoring mobility, strength, and stability. Our team of physiotherapists works with patients to aid their recovery process.

Common Causes of Pelvic Fractures:

Motor vehicle accidents
Falls from heights
Direct trauma or blows (sports injuries, violent accidents)
Osteoporosis-related fractures (in elderly patients)

Acetabular Fracture Surgery

The acetabulum is the socket of the hip joint, and fractures here are typically caused by trauma that disrupts the hip joint’s function. Acetabular fractures often require complex surgical intervention to repair the fracture, restore hip joint function, and prevent long-term complications like arthritis or chronic pain. At JS Hospitals, we provide the following treatments:

• Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF): This surgical procedure involves repositioning the broken bone fragments and using screws, plates, or rods to hold them in place. The goal is to restore the normal anatomy of the acetabulum.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery: In some cases, minimally invasive approaches are used to reduce tissue damage and speed up recovery.
• Hip Reconstruction: In severe cases where the acetabulum is significantly damaged, reconstructive surgery may be necessary to restore hip joint stability and function.

Symptoms of Acetabular Fractures:

• Severe pain in the hip or groin area
• Difficulty bearing weight on the affected side
• Limited range of motion in the hip joint
• Swelling and bruising around the hip
