Abstract

Case: We present the case of a 25-year-old man with body mass index of 77 who underwent open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of a displaced fracture dislocation of the acetabulum after a high-speed motor vehicle accident. Remarkably, he achieved full weight-bearing with minimal hip pain and has returned to independent mobility and meaningful work. Conclusion: ORIF of an acetabular fracture in a patient with class III obesity presents many challenges. Positioning, surgical approach, fracture manipulation, and postoperative morbidity and mortality can be managed through interdisciplinary collaboration and preoperative communication.
