Posterior acetabular wall fracture while playing basketball in a young Hispanic male: A case series
Abstract
Case We report two cases of young Hispanic males with posterior acetabular fractures sustained during low-energy basketball injuries, a mechanism rarely described in the literature. Both patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation within 24 h of admission. Detailed evaluations, surgical procedures, and follow-up outcomes are provided. Conclusion These cases highlight an unusual presentation of acetabular fractures in young males from low-energy sports injuries. The findings emphasize the need for further research into the mechanisms, management, and natural history of low-energy acetabular fractures in young patients.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
