[The Judet and Letournel classification of acetabular fractures].
Many classifications of acetabular fractures are to be found in literature. The fact that various orthopedic centres use different classifications makes an objective comparison of methods of treatment and their results difficult, if not impossible. The authors of the paper present the principles of the Judet and Letrournel classification of acetabular fractures. The Judet and Letournel classification is widely accepted and and used by many reknown orthopedic centres around the world. Polish literature lacks so far a satisfactory discussion about this issue.
