Fracture of acetabulum - what does this mean
A fracture of the acetabulum occurs when the rim of the hip socket is broken, usually as a result of a traumatic injury such as a fall or a motor vehicle accident. the fracture can be caused by a direct impact to the hip or by a twisting force that causes the rim of the acetabulum to break.
What happens during the disease - fracture of acetabulum
Fracture of the acetabulum occurs when the acetabular region of the hip joint is subjected to a significant amount of force, such as a fall or direct impact to the hip. the force is transmitted through the acetabulum to the underlying bone, resulting in a fracture of the acetabulum. the fracture can range from a simple crack to a complete separation of the acetabulum from the rest of the hip joint. the fracture can also damage the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and nerves, leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty in walking.
