About ORIF for Pelvic and Acetabular Fracture

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) for pelvic and acetabular fractures is a major orthopedic surgical procedure designed to restore the structural integrity of the pelvis and hip socket following severe trauma. The procedure involves surgically realigning (reducing) the displaced bone fragments to their normal anatomical position and then securing them with specialized implants such as plates, screws, or rods. This precise stabilization is crucial for healing, preventing long-term complications like arthritis, and restoring function to the hip joint and pelvic ring. ORIF is typically recommended for complex, displaced, or unstable fractures that cannot be managed with conservative treatment, aiming to enable early mobilization and reduce the risk of chronic pain and disability.

Key Highlights

    Restores precise anatomical alignment of the pelvis and hip socket.Provides stable internal fixation to promote proper bone healing.Aims to prevent long-term complications like post-traumatic arthritis and chronic pain.Enables earlier mobilization and weight-bearing compared to non-surgical management.Helps preserve hip joint function and overall pelvic stability.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Displaced or unstable fractures of the acetabulum (hip socket).
  • Unstable fractures of the pelvic ring that disrupt its structural integrity.
  • Fractures with significant joint surface involvement or step-off.
  • Fractures associated with hip joint dislocation.
  • Fractures where conservative treatment (like traction or bed rest) is likely to lead to poor outcomes or non-union.
  • Polytrauma patients where pelvic stability is required for overall recovery.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive evaluation including X-rays, CT scans, and possibly 3D reconstructions to assess fracture pattern.
  • Pre-operative medical clearance to assess fitness for major surgery.
  • Management of any other injuries, especially in polytrauma cases.
  • Pre-operative planning of the surgical approach and implant selection.
  • Patient counseling on the procedure, risks, benefits, and recovery expectations.
  • Fasting as instructed before the surgery.

Risks & possible complications

  • Infection at the surgical site or deep within the bone.
  • Bleeding, hematoma, or damage to nearby blood vessels.
  • Nerve injury, potentially causing numbness, weakness, or pain.
  • Blood clots (Deep Vein Thrombosis or Pulmonary Embolism).
  • Non-union or malunion (failure of the bone to heal or healing in incorrect position).
  • Post-traumatic arthritis of the hip joint.
  • Heterotopic ossification (abnormal bone growth in soft tissues).
  • Implant-related issues like irritation, breakage, or need for future removal.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial hospital stay for pain management, monitoring, and prevention of complications like blood clots.
  • Strict non-weight-bearing or toe-touch weight-bearing on the affected side for several weeks, progressing as guided by the surgeon.
  • Early initiation of physical therapy to maintain range of motion and muscle strength.
  • Regular follow-up X-rays to monitor fracture healing and implant position.
  • Gradual return to activities; full recovery and return to high-impact activities can take many months.
  • Long-term rehabilitation to maximize functional outcomes and gait retraining.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 5-10 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 6-12 months for full functional recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
