[A rare complication of the acetabulum: incarceration of a small intestine loop in the fracture area].
The authors report an exceptional case of fracture of the acetabulum complicated by tear of the small intestine due to injury to the loop of intestine by a piece of the fractured acetabulum. As it is rare, such a complication is often undiagnosed. Discovered in time, an operation avoids a fatal issue due to peritonitis.
