@#<p style="text-align justify;"><strong>Objective.</strong> To evaluate morbidity and functional outcome of surgically treated pelvic fractures and acetabular fractures in our institution.</p><p style="text-align justify;"><strong>Methods.</strong> A chart review was done to identify subjects with pelvic and acetabular injuries treated with open reduction and internal fixation from 2014-2019. We collected data for blood loss, time of surgery, post-surgical intervention, and the Majeed score functional outcome score.</p><p style="text-align justify;"><strong>Results.</strong> We included 11 patients (8 males, 3 females; mean age 38 years) with range of follow up of 1 to 6 years. We performed a functional assessment using the Majeed functional outcome score. The mean score was 81 ± 18 points (range, 53 to 100). Excellent clinical results were seen in 63% of cases (100% of pelvic fractures and 50% of acetabular fractures).</p><p style="text-align justify;"><strong>Conclusion.</strong> There was excellent functional outcome of patients treated with internal fixation.</p>
