Can a person that has Acetabulum fracture walk normally again?
Treatment for an acetabular fracture typically involves surgery to repair the broken bone. After surgery, the person will likely need to use crutches or a walker for several weeks. Physical therapy will also be necessary to help the person regain range of motion and strength in the hip joint.
Most people who have an acetabular fracture are able to walk normally again after surgery and rehabilitation. However, some people may experience chronic pain or stiffness in the hip joint. In rare cases, an acetabular fracture can lead to long-term disability.
The severity of an acetabular fracture and the likelihood of a full recovery depend on a number of factors, including:
* The location and severity of the fracture
* The type of treatment received
* The person's overall health and age
With proper treatment, most people who have an acetabular fracture can expect to make a full recovery and return to their normal activities.
