Operative treatment is indicated for most displaced acetabular fractures to allow early ambulatory function and to decrease the chance of post-traumatic arthritis. Among the various surgical approaches, the Kocher-Langenbeck allows direct exposure of both the posterior column and posterior wall. Indications for using this exposure include posterior wall fractures, posterior column fractures, combined posterior wall/posterior column fractures, and simple transverse fractures.
