Abstract:
Acetabular fractures that are radiographically occult are associated with insufficiency fractures, stress fractures, and fractures secondary to steroid-induced osteoporosis, usually affecting older patients after low-energy trauma. Occult acetabulum fractures in young patients are extremely rare. We discuss herein a case of an occult acetabulum fracture after high-energy trauma, in a young patient. This case illustrates the need for further diagnostic studies such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or bone scanning when, despite negative radiographic findings, groin pain is persistent.
Keywords:Acetabulum  Fracture  Occult
