ABSTRACT
CASE Closed reduction of acetabular fractures with femoral head protrusion and superolateral femoral head impaction may be challenging because the intact acetabular roof may block anatomic reduction with traditional maneuvers. We report the use of a 5-step technique for this unique pattern medializing force to disengage the femoral head, axial traction to clear the intact ilium, lateralizing force to center the head underneath the acetabular roof, confirmation of femoral head stability, and skeletal traction placement. CONCLUSION:
Acetabular fractures with femoral head protrusion and concomitant superolateral impaction may be reduced with an initial medializing force followed by axial and lateralizing forces.
