Abstract
Arthroscopic reduction and screw fixation of acetabular fractures have not been reported. In this case report, arthroscopic treatment for acetabular fracture is reported for two patients. A 49-year-old man diagnosed with acetabular posterior wall fracture was treated by arthroscopic reduction and fixation using two screws. A 20-year-old woman who diagnosed with anterior column fracture was fixed using a screw using the arthroscopic technique prior to open reduction and internal fixation in the iliac bone fracture. Arthroscopic reduction and fixation in some case of acetabular fracture could be good indication with additional advantages of joint debridement and loose body removal.
