[Pelvic and acetabular fractures, long term results, retrospective study from Cadolles from 1977 to 1997].
From 1977 to 1997, 51 unstable pelvic and/or acetabular fractures were operated in our institution. We could control 35 after a mean postoperative period of nearly six years. The outcome was analysed considering several factors: pain, neurological and genito-urinary problems, gait, social life, Xrays and clinical findings. Our results match well with those of other series. Different evaluation scores used in the literature are compared and discussed.
