Pelvic Acetabular Surgery

Pelvic Acetabular Surgery

Precision Reconstruction. Restored Mobility. Renewed Confidence.

What is Pelvic & Acetabular Surgery?

Pelvic and acetabular (hip socket) fractures are among the most complex injuries in orthopedic trauma. These fractures often result from high-impact accidents, falls from height, or sports-related trauma, and can affect critical structures around the hip joint, pelvis, and lower spine.

Pelvic & Acetabular Surgery focuses on accurately realigning broken bones, stabilizing the joint, and preserving hip function — helping patients regain mobility, independence, and quality of life.

At Mission Hospital, Durgapur, Dr. Arijit Ghosh, one of the best orthopedic and joint replacement surgeons in Kolkata and Durgapur, provides advanced surgical care using modern fixation techniques, 3D imaging, and minimally invasive methods to achieve optimal recovery and long-term results.

Causes of Pelvic & Acetabular Fractures

  • Road traffic or vehicular accidents
  • Falls from significant height
  • Sports or occupational injuries
  • Bone fragility (osteoporosis-related fractures in elderly patients)
  • Industrial or crush injuries
  • Common Symptoms

    Pelvic or acetabular injuries can be severe and often require immediate medical attention. Common signs include:

    • Intense hip or pelvic pain

    • Inability to bear weight or walk

    • Visible deformity or swelling around the hip area

    • Shortening or rotation of the affected leg

    • Numbness or tingling in the leg (nerve involvement)

    • Internal bleeding or shock in severe trauma cases

    Prompt diagnosis and stabilization are crucial to prevent complications and preserve joint function.

    Diagnosis & Evaluation

    Accurate diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. Dr. Arijit Ghosh uses a combination of advanced imaging and clinical evaluation to plan the best approach.
    1. Diagnostic Techniques Include:

      X-rays – Initial imaging to identify fracture patterns.

    2. CT Scans (3D Reconstruction) – Detailed visualization of complex pelvic and acetabular fractures.

    3. MRI – To evaluate soft tissue, ligament, or nerve injuries.

    Treatment Options for Pelvic & Acetabular Fractures

    Treatment depends on the type, location, and severity of the fracture, as well as the patient’s age, activity level, and overall health.

    Non-Surgical Management

    • For stable or minimally displaced fractures.

    • Includes bed rest, traction, pain control, and physiotherapy under close supervision.

    Surgical Management

    When the fracture is complex, displaced, or involves the hip socket, surgical reconstruction is necessary.

    Dr. Arijit Ghosh specializes in:

    • Open Reduction & Internal Fixation (ORIF) – Using plates, screws, and rods to stabilize fractures and restore alignment.

    • Minimally Invasive Pelvic Fixation – Reduces surgical trauma and recovery time.

    • Percutaneous Screw Fixation – Guided by imaging for precision and smaller incisions.

    • Reconstructive Hip Surgery – For joint surface restoration and prevention of arthritis.

    • Post-Traumatic Hip Replacement – In cases of severe acetabular damage or avascular necrosis.

    Rehabilitation & Recovery

    Recovery after pelvic and acetabular surgery requires expert physiotherapy and gradual weight-bearing under medical supervision. Our rehabilitation program focuses on: Pain management and early mobility exercises Muscle strengthening and joint flexibility Gradual return to walking and daily activities Preventing complications like stiffness or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) With Dr. Ghosh’s multidisciplinary approach, most patients regain near-normal function and mobility within a few months.
