Abstract
There are many questions that remain to be answered regarding the evaluation, classification, and treatment of acetabulum fractures. Without a uniform classification and method of evaluation, a review of the literature can be misleading. Acetabular fractures represent an injury to the articular surface of a major weight-bearing joint and should be treated in accordance with the same criteria used for other intra-articular fractures.
