AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult men or women aged 18 years and older (with no upper age limit).
* Fracture of the acetabular posterior wall fracture confirmed with either anteroposterior and lateral hip radiographs, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
* Operative treatment of fractures within 14 days of presenting to the emergency room.
* Patient was ambulatory prior to fracture, though they may have used an aid such as a cane or a walker.
* Anticipated medical optimalization for operation.
* Provision of informed consent by patient or legal guardian.
* No other major trauma.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Refuse to participate.
* Patients not suitable for internal fixation (i.e., severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or pathologic fracture).
* Associated major injuries of the lower extremity (i.e., ipsilateral or contralateral fractures of the foot, ankle, tibia, fibula, knee, or femur; dislocations of the ankle, knee, or hip; or femoral head defects or fracture).
* Retained hardware around the affected acetabular.
* Infection around the acetabular (i.e., soft tissue or bone).
* Patients with disorders of bone metabolism except osteoporosis (i.e., Paget's disease, renal osteodystrophy, osteomalacia).
* Moderate or severe cognitively impaired patients (i.e., Six Item Screener with 3 or more errors).
* Patients with Parkinson's disease (or dementia) severe enough to increase the likelihood of falling or severe enough to compromise rehabilitation.
