Nonoperative Management of Both Column Acetabular Fracture and Protrusio Acetabuli in a Pregnant Patient: A Case Report.

CASE: We present a case of a 39-year-old woman at 23 weeks gestation who sustained traumatic both-column acetabular fracture and protrusio acetabuli, managed with initial traction and delayed total hip arthroplasty (THA) until after cesarean section delivery.

CONCLUSION

Initial skeletal traction with subsequent delayed THA may be a viable treatment option in select pregnant female patients who sustain both-column acetabular fractures. Interdisciplinary collaboration is necessary to optimize maternal-fetal health and provide patient education of procedural risk to enable informed decision making.
