Abstract
"Insufficiency fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum are occurring at increasing rates. Osteoporosis is the most prevalent risk fracture. Diagnosis begins with plain radiographs followed by advanced imaging with computed tomography and/or MRI. Pelvic ring fragility injuries are classified by the Fragility fractures of the pelvis system. Elderly acetabular fractures may be classified by the Letournel system. Management of these injuries is primarily nonoperative with early immobilization when allowed by fracture characteristics. When warranted, percutaneous fixation and open reduction internal fixation are options for both. Both acute and delayed total hip arthroplasty are options for acetabular fractures."
