Negative outcome factors have been shown to include: increasing patient age, time from injury to surgery (>3 weeks), intraoperative complications, femoral head bone or cartilage injury, and fracture reduction > 1-2mm from anatomic. Choice of surgical approach has not been shown to affect patient outcomes. The referenced study by Matta evaluated outcomes of displaced acetabular fractures. The overall clinical result was excellent for 104 hips (40 per cent), good for ninety-five (36 per cent), fair for twenty-one (8 per cent), and poor for forty-two (16 per cent). The clinical result was related closely to the radiographic result. These findings indicate that in many patients who have a complex acetabular fracture the hip joint can be preserved and post-traumatic osteoarthrosis can be avoided if an anatomical reduction is achieved.
