Case 17. A 28-year-old male patient had a traumatic acetabular fracture combined with an ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture in his right hip. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation surgery for both his acetabulum and proximal femur. An absorbable screw was used to fix the fracture fragment of the posterior wall. Plates and screws were used to fix the intertrochanteric fracture. a–d Computed tomography image showing a posterior wall fracture of the acetabulum and dislocation of the hip joint. e Anterior-posterior view at the final follow-up. f Lateral view before hip arthroplasty at the final follow-up
