[A rare complication of the acetabulum: incarceration of a small intestine loop in the fracture area]. / Une complication rare des fractures du cotyle: L'incarcération d'une anse grêle dans le foyer de fracture

The authors report an exceptional case of fracture of the acetabulum complicated by tear of the small intestine due to injury to the loop of intestine by a piece of the fractured acetabulum. As it is rare, such a complication is often undiagnosed. Discovered in time, an operation avoids a fatal issue due to peritonitis.
