ABSTRACT
Experience in the treatment of 60 patients is generalized. Operative interventions are recommended for improving the outcomes of treatment in marked incongruence of the articular surfaces. Open reduction and osteosynthesis of the fragments is advisable in the first 21 days after the trauma. In neglected fractures of bones forming the acetabulum, the operation is performed with consideration for the condition of both components of the hip joint. The authors believe the following operations to be most indicated in this case: modeling resection of the hip joint, total endoprosthesis, arthrodesis. The late-term results were studied in 50 patients, among whom 31 were treated by surgery and 19 by nonoperative methods. The results were excellent in 6, good in 18, and satisfactory in 15 patients.
