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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
