title: [Mid-long-term curative effect analysis of complex acetabular fracture].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss clinical effects of complex acetabular fracture.
  
  
  METHODS
  From January 2005 to December 2010, totally 31 patients with complex acetabular fracture received surgery. There were 21 males and 10 females with an average age of 38.6 years old (ranged, 31 to 57). X-ray, CT, operation scheme and clinical efficiacy were retrospectively analyzed.
