Challenges in Hip and Pelvic Fractures
Pelvic fractures are complex entities for treating surgeons. Some of the factors which add to the challenges are highly complex fracture patterns and patients with considerable obesity. Professor Dr. Norbert Haas, Chairman of the Charite University Hospital in Berlin, Germany and his team introduce a newly developed approach through the abdominal wall which will allow for a more direct fracture reduction and stabilization (fracture repair) highly comminuted (shattered). The program concludes with Dr. Chansky discussing options of prosthetic replacement for acetabular fractures in elderly patients.
